The Day The Moon Split is a cozy, character-driven space opera about a Muslim woman who grows beyond social anxiety to discover that the galaxy has room for found family and love without diminishing her faith.

Beris trudges through labwork and Boston winters with one goal: get to sleep. His dreams exist in another world where he's a captain of a cargo ship, with a crew of aliens he fits with better than people in the waking world.

Which leaves him with just one question:
