Eleanor Hollis-Morrow has been paying attention since before she had words for what she noticed. By four she understood that some people are louder than others in ways that have nothing to do with sound. By eight she had a notebook. By eleven she had a list of things she had never been told and a patience that had no business living in a child's face.
Her parents know what she carries. They also know what it costs to carry something the ordinary world has no container for. Cassidy and David have spent eleven years building a cover story that is true as far as it goes, teaching Eleanor to seem unremarkable, and waiting for the moment she is old enough to understand why.
That moment is here.

Eleanor is the second book in the Star Child series, following a child who inherited abilities from both parents and is learning, with characteristic precision, what to do with them.
