It’s his wife Vivian’s worst nightmare come to life, her grief suddenly taking center stage as the nation waits and mourns.

Review
When Joe Mitchell launches into space, the world is watching. It’s 1968, and the country waits with anticipation and excitement for another successful mission, another celebration as America sets its sights on the Moon. And then comes the knock at the door.
Joe and Vivian have a strong bond and a love you will not soon forget. Not only are these two fabulous characters, the ride the author takes you on is out of this world (pun intended 😜).
I love a book that is unique. And nothing is more unique than the space program and all the wives and the astronauts. They went through so much unknown…truly terrifying on so many levels.
That being said, I did struggle with my rating on this one. The ending of this book is a solid 5 star! It is emotional and pulls you in deeper and leaves you wanting more. But the first part of this story is a bit slow. As a fan of this author, I knew she was going to deliver a great ending and boy did she!
Need a story to take you to infinity and beyond….THIS IS IT! Grab your copy today.
I received this novel from the publisher for a honest review.
