What would it take for you to give up everything you know and cross 500 years worth of the blackness of space to settle on a new, uninhabited planet? The search of adventure? The promise of a better life? The promise of a hefty salary right now? Or the chance to reinvent yourself completely? Earth's first colony ship, the Neo Kosmo, is set to depart with 10,000 passengers and crew: ordinary people on an extraordinary journey. Along with facing the unique challenges of settling a new planet, everyone on board must fight against their own fears in order to make sense of their new lives. This anthology explores their stories: the challenges, decisions, victories, and failures that mark the beginning of their new lives.

***THIS STORY WILL BECOME FREE ON JULY15th!*** Beverly Curie only lives for herself (and maybe ice cream). When her three nieces are suddenly put under her care, she must do the impossible: think about someone other than herself. Beverly is the only member of her family left in Chestnut Ridge, where she's kept the same routine for eight years: do as little work as possible during the day, marathon sitcoms in the evening, and try (for the life of her) to get everyone to leave her alone. When she loses her position at Red Ribbon's Craft Store, Beverly is left without a job and without a paycheck. Then her estranged sister, Aimee, calls with an impossible favor: Could Beverly take care of her three nieces for six months? It's insane. But then there's the thirty thousand dollars that Aimee offers to pay and Beverly can't resist. Suddenly, she's stuck taking care of three little girls, trying not to kill the soccer moms at the snobby Percival Academy, and joining the PTO. Now Beverly--self-serving, sarcastic, and problematic--must take on the role of a loving parent. And she is anything but.
