From the New York Times bestselling author of Cocoon
(which
was made into an Academy Award–winning movie) comes a sci-
fi
adventure about family, love, and, in a universe teeming
with
life, deciding who and what are the aliens.

Six single, semi-retired, “older” women are inseparable
friends. But their lives start to go haywire when
mischievous
Rosie submits her friends’ names to an ad soliciting “Mail
Order Brides for Farmers & Miners—Distant Locations.” A
few
weeks later, as the six women are driving along a lonely
beach
road, their vehicle suddenly begins to shake, the sky
grows
dark, an eerie light envelops the van, and ZAP—it’s gone!

Exactly three years later, the van reappears on the same
road.
But this time, the women appear to be thirty years younger
—and
they’re all pregnant!

The “distant locations” advertised were, in fact,
elsewhere in
our galaxy. A process, required for deep space travel, has
somehow reversed their aging. They are happy with their
new
lives. However, a universal law requires that babies of
“mixed-mating” be born on the mother’s home planet,
forcing
their return. But as they re-adapt to life on earth,
surprises
and problems arise as they’re faced with a media circus,
doctors, nurses, police, priests, and nuns, not to mention
their new humanoid mates.

In Saperstein’s wacky, comedic-drama tradition that’s out
of
this world, Snatched builds to an exciting, uplifting
climax
that celebrates life, love, and the universal condition
known
as family.
