Killashandra Ree was drawn like a magnet to the song of crystal, and now it's erasing her memory. She knew the forgetfulness would be a byproduct of the singing, and she doesn't mind the little annoyances, like being unable to remember her address or the names of her colleagues. But she hadn't counted on the loneliness a person can feel when the heart still remembers what the mind has forgotten. Can the crystal that destroyed her memory somehow restore it?

Sassinak was 12 when the raiders came. That made her just the right age: old enough to be used, young enough to be broken. Or so the slavers thought. But Sassy turned out to be a little different from your typical slave girl. Maybe it was her unusual physical strength. Maybe it was her friendship with the captured Fleet crewman. Maybe it was her spirit. Whatever it was, it wouldn't let her resign herself to the life of a slave. She bided her time, watched for her moment. Finally it came, and she escaped.

Great Series
What made the experience of listening to Damia's Children the most enjoyable?
It was written by Anne McCaffrey, you just can't go wrong with any of her books.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Damia's Children?
Towards the end, what Zara does,,,, & no, I'll not give it away!
What about Jean Reed Bahle’s performance did you like?
That she reads the book, not perform every character in it.
