Description
In Ascension is a deeply inquisitive epic that explores the natural world with wonder and reverence. When a young microbiologist discovers an unfathomable deep vent in the ocean floor, she embarks on a journey that will take her across the breadth of the cosmos.
As she delves deeper into her research, Leigh is drawn to a mysterious pattern of phenomena across the world, each piece linking up to suggest a larger truth. Her discovery leads her to an ambitious new space agency and forces her to confront impossible choices about her family and her place in the universe.
This compassionate novel reaches outward to confront the greatest questions of existence while looking inward to illuminate the smallest details of the human heart. It is a story about our attempts to return to the people and places we call home, no matter how far away we may be or how much hope we have lost.
