Facsimile — Vicki L. Weavil

For a ticket to Earth, 17-year-old Anna-Maria Ann Solano is ready to jettison her birth planet, best friend, and the boy who loves her. Her mission is easy: escort Dace Keeling, a young naturalist, through the wilderness of the partially terraformed planet Eco. Ann's determination to escape the limitations of her small, frontier colony never falters, until Dace s expeditions uncover three secrets. One offers riches, one shatters Ann s perceptions of herself, and one reveals that the humans stranded on Eco are not its only inhabitants. This is the story of a girl who must choose between fulfilling the dream that has always sustained her or save the planet she s never considered home."
