SUMMARY:Faculty Diversity Book Club: To the Moon and Back: A Novel
DESCRIPTION:via MS TEAMS\n\nTo the Moon and Back: A Novel \nby Eliana 
 Ramage  (Author)\n\nSteph Harper is convinced that only space—outer 
 space—can save her. From a childhood of fearful running and alienation\; 
 from a family and community that threaten to suffocate her with their 
 reverence for the past. Equal parts tender\, funny\, and heartbreaking\, To 
 the Moon and Back charts the course of Steph’s singular dream: to become 
 the first Cherokee astronaut\, no matter who or what she has to leave 
 behind.\n\nBut despite her self-prescribed loneliness and reckless 
 ambition\, Steph’s story isn’t hers alone. To the Moon and Back also 
 brings to life the vibrant\, complex women—a celebrity activist younger 
 sister\, an ex-Mormon college girlfriend\, and a devoted mother with a 
 crushing secret—who insist on loving her…even when she least deserves 
 them.\n\nFrom a simulated Mars habitat on a Hawaiian volcano\, to a house 
 in the Ozark foothills in Cherokee Nation\, to a pressurized research 
 station on the floor of the Atlantic and beyond\, Steph will stretch her 
 bonds with each of these women to the point of breaking\, driving them to 
 reconsider their own deepest desires in her shadow. An awe-inspiringly epic 
 novel of mothers and daughters\, sisters and sacrifice\, love and loss\, 
 terror and wonder\, To the Moon and Back is the unforgettable story of one 
 astronaut’s most surprising discovery: how deeply she loves life on 
 earth.\n\n \n\nBooks will be provided upon request from the CTL. Email to 
 schedule a time to pick up a copy at the CTL office or contact Jennifer 
 Maney with any questions.
