Atmosphere meets Lessons in Chemistry in Find Me in the Stars, set against the riveting backdrop of the 1960s Space Race and inspired by real events.
Lida, a former Soviet astrophysicist, lost her family and career in WWII, and after marrying an American soldier and settling into 1950s suburbia, she lost herself. When her husband’s new NASA job takes them to Huntsville, Alabama, Lida’s past begins to bleed into her present, making her wonder if the voices that have come back to haunt her are a figment of her imagination or the key to reclaiming all she’s lost.
Teddy, an accomplished young pilot, jumps at the chance to be a part of the first Women in Space program in 1961. But when it becomes necessary to pick between astronaut testing, saving her family’s airport, and the two men vying for her love, Teddy must decide what it is she truly wants, and what—or who—she’s willing to sacrifice to achieve her dreams.
As the Space Race intensifies, Teddy and Lida’s orbits intersect, revealing Lida’s buried secrets and forcing the two women to make choices that are not only life-altering, but deadly. Because all is not as it seems in Lida’s seemingly perfect household—in fact, there are far more secrets behind that white picket fence than Lida’s alone.
