  Summary

  After the attempted Firefly rebellion at Boston QZ, Maeve makes her way out west to her sister. She ends up in Jackson, where the quiet normalcy of the settlement gives her time to reflect. From all of the nosy people in the settlement, one in particular stands out to her. Joel Miller. A quiet, gruff man who forces Maeve to acknowledge parts of herself she'd rather not face.
