SUMMARY:Romance Book Club - Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid
DESCRIPTION:“Thrilling . . . heartbreaking . . . uplifting . . . the fast-paced\, emotionally charged story of one ambitious young woman\, finding both her voice and her passion.”—Kristin Hannah\, author of The Women \n“NASA? Space missions? The ’80s? This is a collection of all the things I love.”—Andy Weir\, author of Project Hail Mary and The Martian \nClick Here to Reserve Your Seat \nJoan Goodwin has been obsessed with the stars for as long as she can remember. Thoughtful and reserved\, Joan is content with her life as a professor of physics and astronomy at Rice University and as aunt to her precocious niece\, Frances. That is\, until she comes across an advertisement seeking the first women scientists to join NASA’s Space Shuttle program. Suddenly\, Joan burns to be one of the few people to go to space. \nSelected from a pool of thousands of applicants in the summer of 1980\, Joan begins training at Houston’s Johnson Space Center\, alongside an exceptional group of fellow candidates: Top Gun pilot Hank Redmond and scientist John Griffin\, who are kind and easy-going even when the stakes are highest; mission specialist Lydia Danes\, who has worked too hard to play nice; warm-hearted Donna Fitzgerald\, who is navigating her own secrets; and Vanessa Ford\, the magnetic and mysterious aeronautical engineer\, who can fix any engine and fly any plane. \nAs the new astronauts become unlikely friends and prepare for their first flights\, Joan finds a passion and a love she never imagined. In this new light\, Joan begins to question everything she thinks she knows about her place in the observable universe. \nThen\, in December of 1984\, on mission STS-LR9\, everything changes in an instant. \nFast-paced\, thrilling\, and emotional\, Atmosphere is Taylor Jenkins Reid at her best: transporting readers to iconic times and places\, with complex protagonists\, telling a passionate and soaring story about the transformative power of love\, this time among the stars. \n
