Book Description:

Joan Goodwin has been fascinated by the stars for as long as she can remember. Serious and reserved, she is content with her life as a professor of physics and astronomy at Rice University. That is, until she learns that NASA is looking for the first female scientists to join the Space Shuttle program. Suddenly, Joan wants with every fiber of her being to become one of the few people who will have the chance to travel into space.

Selected from thousands of other women in the summer of 1980, she begins training at the Johnson Space Center in Houston alongside an exceptional group of colleagues: Top Gun pilot Hank Redmond and scientist John Griffin, who remain friendly and easygoing even when the stakes are incredibly high; Lydia Danes, a mission specialist who has worked far too hard to waste time on pleasantries; Donna Fitzgerald, who has a kind heart as well as secrets of her own; and Vanessa Ford, the magnetic and mysterious aeronautical engineer who can fix any engine and fly any aircraft.

As the new astronauts form unexpected friendships and prepare for their first flight, Joan discovers a passion and a love she never imagined possible. In this new light, she begins to question everything she thought she knew about her place in the observable universe.

Then, in December 1984, during the STS-LR9 mission, everything changes in an instant.
