1Beatrice Walker thought she was a normal high schooler living in a normal world-that is until she learned she's a living hostel for an alien energy source, whose power will prevent the universe's extinction. Beatrice and her non-human-and annoyingly gorgeous-bodyguard Cash are part of a prophetic plan whose outcome to save their planets lies in their connection. Author Dana Claire believes that the beauty of reading is that one can live a hundred lives within the stories of books. A shared dream of hers and her mother's, she promised her dying mother that she would become a published author and that dream has been realized with The Connection.
