Teenager Lisa Herbert lives in the small town of Mountain View on the planet Fairfield. The "Savage Rain" decades earlier shut down the hyperspace gate and isolated her world. A casual remark from her sister gets Lisa to ask a simple question: "If life was better before the 'Savage Rain, ' why couldn't it be better again?"That question starts Lisa on a journey. She reactivates Fairfield's H-gate and travels to three worlds. Each planet offers her a chance to improve life by hard work, by trade, or by making friends. She relies on her brains, her compassion, and a little sneakiness to solve the problems she faces.Lisa's Way presents a heroine more interested in reasoning than fighting, and more concerned with doing good than looking good."The novel's emphasis on character rather than technology combined with it's almost agrarian sensibilities make it a great one for fantasy fans who thought they could never enjoy science fiction. By the same token, this is a particularly good novel for teens and young adults looking for something that's not another Harry Potter clone."- David Lee Summers, Tales of the Talisman
