A story in the George series. Dropping out of high school in junior year was a poor idea, but Christina was tired of school. Having a baby by a violent asshole a few days after her 26th birthday was even worse. At 30 she was desperately trying to get things right, but everything fell apart and no one wanted to help her - apart from George, the young graduate who was teaching math at her evening school. / (Reviews)

Will he continue to climb this ladder, or will there be another ladder to climb in his future? No matter what, the only direction he plans to go is up.
A war-weary and wounded scout finds an unlikely partner in a time of mutual distress. Together they could just possibly find a way to stop the long pointless war and save thousands of lives but in doing so neither will be likely ever to see their home alive again - and that's if they can even trust each other long enough to survive the trip. An oddball Romantic-Fantasy story with very little sex.
Even in a world with superheroes it is universally recognized that love is the greatest power of all. But as Tricia, Annie, and Joey adjust to their new lives, they soon discover that, like all powers, it has a price.
