Stellar Revelations

At the tender age of seven, "daddy's girl" Myra Wilson is abandoned by her father. Turning to her mom for love and guidance, she instead receives indifference and neglect. She is basically an orphan in her own home. Friendless and alone she spends her childhood with schoolwork, cookbooks and daydreams of the life before her father disappeared.
After a family battle for Myra's grandfather's ancestral home, fifteen-year-old Myra finds herself traveling unaccompanied to rural England. She will attend the private school where her mom now teaches until the newly inherited house sells. A new school is bad enough, but having to be in the same building as her mother every day is nearly unbearable.
While her mom is at work, Myra receives a package containing a poem and a strange metal bracelet. With the help of her new friend, Katelyn, Myra solves the poem's riddle and finds the unexpected in the form of hidden rooms, and letters to her from her father. Add to that a journey in a space ship to alien worlds, and the possibility of finding love in an unforeseen place, and Myra's isolated existence becomes something more stellar. She can't waste time worrying about these new revelations, however, because more important than all this is the one thing in which she'd nearly lost hope - finding her father.
