Fifty-five years have passed since 4,000 women escaped a tyrannical Earth and colonized the planet of Maternas. The women of the Unity have brought children into their 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.
With Daughters of an Emerald Dusk, Forrest has created her most electrifying, suspenseful, and yes, sexiest novel yet in this acclaimed series that began in 1984 with Daughters of a Coral Dawn.

About the Author:
Katherine V. Forrest is the groundbreaking author of Curious Wine, the Kate Delafield mystery series and the Daughters science-fiction series. She’s also known as a prolific editor with anthology and non-fiction credits in her own name as well as the editor of hundreds of novels. Dozens of lesbian writers count her among their mentors. Selected as the 2009 recipient of the Publishing Triangle’s Bill Whitehead Lifetime Achievement award, winner of five Lambda Literary Awards and the GCLS 2009 Trailblazer Award, she is widely credited as a founding mother of lesbian fiction writing. Katherine lives with her partner Jo in the Southern California desert. In addition to writing and editing, Katherine is also the Supervising Editor of Spinsters Ink.
From Booklist:
Ever since Forrest's Daughters of a Coral Dawn (1984), its fans have anticipated sequels to that lesbian sf novel set some 200 years from now. One finally arrived in Daughters of an Amber Noon (2002), and this book continues the story. For newcomers and faded memories, Forrest provides highlights of the backstory: the departure of 4,144 members of the sisterhood Unity to make a home away from an Earth ravaged by resource depletion and violence in the twenty-first century, and the establishment of a colony in Death Valley by the remaining 2,011 members. Now the heroines of Amber Noon journey by space shuttle to the Unity colonists' new home on the planet Maternas and reunite with their birth family for the first time in the six years since the colonizers set out. The compelling tale unfolds via first-person accounts in the journals of Minerva, Olympia, and Joss, and includes piercingly poignant reunions, a wrenching leave-taking, and a suspenseful return to the ultimate mother.
