From the back cover:
In the year 3200, happily down-to-earth Jenny Brooks reluctantly accepts a graduation gift from her mother, a vacation trip to Altipiter. On the way, her space ship crashes. Jenny's initial horror at being stranded on a strange planet is heightened when she realizes that she is becoming embroiled in the class warfare between the planet's genetically altered servos and those who live off their labor.
To further complicate matters, Jenny falls in love with a woman who may not even be human.
Frances Lucas uses the future to speculate on the consequences of genetic engineering, while entertaining the reader with an exciting adventure and romance.
