Summary:

"Late in the 22nd century, 4,000 women escaped a tyrannical male-dominated Earth and colonized the planet of Maternas. Katherine V. Forrest's 1984 novel, Daughters of a Coral Dawn, told the story of this exodus. Now she returns to Maternas at last, where fifty-five years have passed. The women of the Unity who fled to Maternas have brought children into this world, the first in the history of humankind to inherit a legacy of ultimate freedom and possibility. But these children are a breed unto themselves. They have bonded and communicate with each other in a way the older generation cannot fathom, and most disturbing of all, they question many of the Unity's cherished precepts, laying claim to a rival standard of conduct. Into this widening schism walks young Joss. She becomes deeply involved with Emerald, a woman who struggles to locate her long-lost daughter and finds herself caught between two factions in a burgeoning conflict of the gravest proportions."--Jacket.
