For Darkness Shows the Stars 
By Diana Peterfreund
Call #: YA F PETERFRE
Years ago, Elliot North passed up the chance to run away with Kai because she felt obligated to stay behind and care for the tenants on her family’s estate, many of whom have diminished abilities after their country’s failed genetic experiment. With her father and sister’s spending habits and selfishness running the estate into the ground, Elliot is desperate to help her people, and that’s when Kai re-enters her life, as a respected member of the Cloud Fleet, a successful, wealthy group of Post explorers want to rent the North family's boatyard. (This is Jane Austen’s Persuasion retold in a post-apocalyptic setting, which sounds weird, but the author did a fantastic job with it.)
