The Astronaut Wives Club by Lily Koppel

THE ASTRONAUT WIVES CLUB BY LILY KOPPEL

This book was added to my Kindle after the ads began to run for the television mini-series, which I ADORE. However, the teacher in me made sure to read the books before watching the series; I didn't get the book done before the series started, but I did stay ahead of the episodes.

This book is non fiction and follows the lives of the wives of the first astronauts and the growth of the U.S. space program. There has been a lot written about the Mercury Seven Astronauts, but their wives had their own challenges and achievements too.
