So if the wife is scared it's seen in a different way. <br /><br />Meg - It was a great one to scratch my nonfiction itch. <br /><br />Carrie - Being an astronaut is such an incredible thing, but I can't imagine how terrifying it would be for your family. <br /><br />Allison - This one actually made me more curious to read about the astronauts themselves too!<br /><br />JoAnn - I hadn't heard of The Red Leather Diary, worth reading? <br /><br />bibliophilica - Definitely, this would be a great Mother's Day gift for a reader! <br /><br />Andi - I definitely read this one because of your rave review and I'm glad I did!

I love reading about the (early) space program and have read many astronaut biographies but don't know much about their better halves. Maybe I'll buy it for Mom and let her read it first? :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-17989012762756842062014-04-29T15:50:34.026-04:002014-04-29T15:50:34.026-04:00I checked this out of the library shortly after it...I checked this out of the library shortly after it was released, but never got a chance to read it. The author's earlier book, The Red Leather Diary, was wonderful... I suppose I should borrow this one again.JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-60414009539068905502014-04-29T13:58:17.785-04:002014-04-29T13:58:17.785-04:00Reading about astronauts is a recent obsession of ...Reading about astronauts is a recent obsession of mine - I definitely need to track down a copy of this one!Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16115555672589550895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-61219958996562218292014-04-29T10:16:03.850-04:002014-04-29T10:16:03.850-04:00I remember reading The Right Stuff in high school,...I remember reading The Right Stuff in high school, and then seeing the movie - where they did touch briefly on the experiences of the wives.

As Sandy also mentioned, I can see finding it hard to distinguish between the women . . . I struggle with that whenever a group of ladies are discussed, especially if they're in similar stages of life. I'm sure I'll grab this one sometime!Meg @ write meg!https://www.blogger.com/profile/15837479897570974834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-7374746444141451802014-04-29T06:51:29.449-04:002014-04-29T06:51:29.449-04:00I can see that.

I can't even imagine the stress and anxiety they went through.Sandy Nawrothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564390728106776030noreply@blogger.com
