Quick question about a book series...

I would have posted this in the book discussion forum, but it seemed like that was for discussing books that you have read. I just have a quick question. A couple of years ago I read a book about citizens living on Mars in the future. I remember the characters using their "Mars" ages. (Ex. 11 or 12 instead of 22 or 24 i.e. using mars' orbit instead of the earth's to determine age). I also remember Earth thinking that Mars was a threat so they attacked it. Also I believe the protagonist was female. I was just wondering if anyone knew what novel this is as I'd like to read it again but the name and author escapes me. Any help would be most appreciated. Thank you

The only mars series I can think of is the red mars, green mars, blue mars books by kim stanley robinson - you can look them up i have no idea if that's what you're looking for

That sounds exactly like the "Mars Trilogy" by Kim Stanley Robinson. It could also be a book called "The Martians" by KSR. It's a spin-off book of the Mars Trilogy. I read it once and it wasn't very good. I probably wouldn't read it again.

"Moving Mars" by Greg Bear

(I haven't read it. I saw the title and a brief description and I just knew.)
