Maya is very different from people her age. In fact, she's different from everyone. She was found in the desert as a baby, by a couple with no children. The woman wasn't able to give birth, so they found Maya as a blessing. But there was one thing about this child they feared... Her eyes. They glowed a brilliant green when she was happy, and went a grayish blue when she was sad or lonely. Her whole life, Maya grew up on that farm. Her parents didn't send her to school, because they were afraid she wouldn't fit in, and would be bullied. She knows she's different. But she wants more than anything to explore the world she was found on, and find out the one SHE came from. But when her parents die, she discovers being on her own is harder than she thought... Especially for someone like Maya.
