The Dream Catcher

In Ark Three, telepathy and parapsychology are the norm. All members of the Ark join together in a seamless web. All except for Ruth. Ruth cannot mindmeld. Ruth is stupid and different. And miserable. But when she sneaks out of the Ark she finds, not only freedom, but her Gift. And this gift calls the members of her Ark to leave the security of their home in search of other Arks.
