the Last of Quiet Sky: A Cozy Alien Found-Family Novel

He fell out of the sky into Mara Doyle's headlights on a frozen October road - and the smartest thing she ever did was not call the sheriff. Isu is the last of his kind. His world is gone, harvested clean by a power that doesn't fight wars - it just closes accounts, quietly and completely. All he wants is thirty days to heal before he disappears again, unseen. Mara has other plans. A grieving widow running a dying diner in a dying coal town, she's spent three years watching everything worth keeping get left behind. She's not about to let one more thing go without a fight - not even something that isn't remotely human. What follows is a found-family novel about grief, hospitality, and a small town that decides, one porch light at a time, to keep something the rest of the universe already wrote off. For readers of Legends & Lattes, The Shape of Water, and anyone who has ever kept a light on for someone who might not come home.
