The Scent of Distant Worlds

Exobiologist Cassie Clearwater gathers samples, unaware of the scent-based civilization surrounding her. The misfit sprout Pepper lives in that society, and her new ideas challenge ages-old wisdom. But when members of the grove are mutilated, abducted, and killed by an odorless and undetectable force, Pepper's penchant for original thought becomes their only hope for survival.
 
The setting of the novel emphasizes how differently two species might experience the same environment. Humans see an almost featureless world of eternal twilight. The plants experience a vibrant, interconnected society. The alien civilization is invisible to humans, just as humans in biosuits are undetectable to the plants.
 
The depths of human and alien emotions are exposed through internal and external conflicts. Cassie is torn between science and spirituality (her grandfather was a Native American shaman), while also dealing with an unexpected pregnancy. Pepper has to deal with humiliation as she battles rigid culture bias. These female champions, human and plant, grow particularly vivid as each becomes hero and villain to the other, as the death count mounts on both sides.
