Atmosphere

By Taylor Jenkins Reid

This novel transports readers to NASA’s 1980s Space Shuttle program, where Joan Goodwin, a professor of physics and astronomy, seizes the chance to become a trailblazing female astronaut. Through grueling training and unexpected bonds with her fellow recruits, Joan discovers love and a sense of purpose that extend far beyond Earth. When a mission turns perilous, she must summon every ounce of courage to survive. Sweeping yet intimate, this story is one of ambition, resilience, and the extraordinary pull of the heart.
