This book follows Luke’s very first visit to Ora. Ora used to be part of Origin, where he comes from. After separation, Ora prospers with its genetically advanced people, the Orans. Orans are tall, superior, and free from all diseases. Luke meets Anny, a sixteen-year-old girl from Origin, and she is in Ora to take part in an experimental program to earn money for her sick parents. They become best friends, and she helps him make a list of the pros and cons of becoming an Oran. As Luke gets more familiar with Ora, his list becomes longer. He wishes he had one good reason for either a pro or a con to overthrow the whole list. He gets it, just not in a way he has ever imagined. To Ora is a short story prequel to In Ora: The Land of the Superior. It tells the story from the POV of the same main character, Luke. It gives interesting and different insights into what he observes during his first visits to Ora. This book challenges its readers to conclude the overall meaning of his journeys and the significance of his list, before embarking on the fascinating next book.
