She finds herself on a spaceship, with eleven people she doesn't know and sent on a top secret government mission she doesn't understand.

Roo, an unassuming intelligent junior at NYU, becomes the key pin in unravelling an adventure two thousand years in the making. Along with her friends and some unfamiliars from the distant past, she weaves through the story, facing her demons, defining who she is and where she really comes from.
Human rights activists Roger Normand and Sarah Zaidi provide a broad political history of the emergence and development of the human rights movement in the 20th century through the crucible of the United Nations, focusing on the hopes and expectations, concrete power struggles, national rivalries, and bureaucratic politics that molded the international system of human rights law. The book emphasizes the period before and after the creation of the UN, when human rights ideas and proposals were shaped and transformed by the hard-edged realities of power politics and bureaucratic imperatives. It also analyzes the expansion of the human rights framework in response to demands for equitable development after decolonization and organized efforts by women, minorities, and other disadvantaged groups to secure international recognition of their rights.
