Her only hope is to hack together a solar-powered satellite phone so she can call her best friend and fix everything. To do it, she?ll have to build a mobile laboratory on the boat and ignore her neurotic mother, who thinks Mia is falling apart.
The problem is, Mia

Now?with everything hanging in the balance?Mia must decide who she is and what she wants. And with this decision comes the revelation that her past and future are more uncertain than she thought.
