About this book

Joan Goodwin has long been fascinated by the stars. A physics and astronomy professor at Rice University, she lives a quiet life until she learns that NASA is recruiting the first women scientists for its space shuttle program. Selected from thousands of applicants in summer 1980, Joan begins training at Houston's Johnson Space Center alongside fellow candidates: pilot Hank Redmond, scientist John Griffin, mission specialist Lydia Danes, Donna Fitzgerald, and aeronautical engineer Vanessa Ford. As the group trains and prepares for their first flights, Joan discovers unexpected passion and love. She begins to reconsider her understanding of her place in the universe. Then, in December 1984, during mission STS-LR9, everything changes suddenly. Set against the backdrop of the 1980s space shuttle program, this novel follows Joan's journey as an ambitious young woman finding her voice and passion, exploring the extraordinary lengths people go to in pursuit of love and purpose.
