    About this ebook

    Life on a mining colony asteroid is a bleak thing, according to Honey Girl's Mama, unless you have "a thing as good as sunshine" to live for. Because Honey Girl grew up inside the belly of an asteroid, Perseus Two, she has never understood how a good dose of sunshine can make you feel all warm and happy and full of life, until she meets Sheng Tian. When Honey Girl's clandestine romance comes to light so does her presence within the tightly-controlled mining community -- and another secret which is powerful enough to rock the very core of their lives.
