Love doesnt always come around, and when it does, it isnt always from around here.--Lindsay Versus the Marauders, a YA interstellar adventure fantasy. Shy Lindsay Fleming has just summoned up all her courage and come out. All shes ever wanted is to be accepted for herself. However, her parents dont understand at all, leaving Lindsay angry and confused. During the Christmas season, Lindsay attends a meeting for the newly out, but she leaves when that turns into a disaster. On her way home, she saves a young woman from being mugged - by four red-skinned aliens! Yes, aliens exist. The woman, Jonephra (Call me Jo) is a resident of the planet Carinna, located in another dimension. The red-skinned men, known as Marauders, are a mean, ruthless bunch who stole jewels that power Jos home world, and shes on a mission to get them back. Turkel leads the band of heartless pirates, and theyll kill anyone who gets in the way. Lindsay is reluctant to get involved, but she agrees to help Jo, who she is attracted to. Jo is tall and self-confident, and Lindsay thinks Jo might like her, but she feels so shy and awkward. Will she be able to shed her shyness and gain enough confidence to win Jos heart? Even more risky: will Lindsay survive the dangerous Marauders, find the jewels and return them before Jos planet runs out of reserve power?
