Rose Flowers is as close to despair as she's been since the Decorians invaded Earth. Her daughter is gone-whisked away to Decorus by her handsome new alien husband. Gone too are the infant "twins" she bore to both Caleb Jackson and her legal Decorian husband Aaron Miller. Their act of love is designed to save Colonel Miller's life and is in defiance of the aliens' strict laws.
His rebellion discovered, Caleb is dead-or so Rose assumes―given her knowledge of Decorian laws. She is left with only a few precious memories of her love, and a letter from him revealing one last gift: a chance at artificial insemination.
If Rose wishes, she can give Caleb a second child, and in doing so continue to have part of him in her life. Giving birth to a Decorian baby with no apparent husband will make her a social outcast, but Rose doesn't hesitate.
Her actions will shake the destinies of two worlds-and change the relationship between Decorus and the Earth World forever.
A gripping sequel to The Earth World, The Earth World: The Homecoming follows Rose Flowers as she and her allies resist the draconian rule of the Decorian leaders. If Caleb is truly dead, her unborn child is all she has left-unless the Decorians take that from her as well.
