Mother Mother
Starmother
By Sydney J. Van Scyoc
Sydney J. Van Scyoc’s 1976 Starmother is a standalone science fiction novel.
Cadet Jahna Swiss, of the Peace Service Corps, is astounded when she is pulled from her classes and dispatched to spend two years on Nedling, where she is to tend mutant children. Playing nanny falls well outside the traditional duties of the Peace Service.
Her first impression of Nedling is not promising.
