Floridas Space Coast1963. People flock south to make the Sunshine State their winter playground, moving to the brand new beach towns and neighborhoods to live their lives in the sun. But the families moving to Stardust Beach near Cape Kennedy arent there for canasta and cocktails; the men arent going to spend their days on the golf courses, and the women arent there for fashion shows and shuffleboard. These couples are young, driven, and there to make history. These are the First Families of NASAs new space program, and theyre ready to aim for the moon
Josephine Booker, wife to Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Bill Booker, is hesitant to jump into the spotlight. She doesnt relish the idea of leaving wholesome Minnesota for flashy Florida, and she doesnt love the thought that her family will be used as a public prop for NASA as Bill goes through astronaut training. But she loves her husband, and she believes wholeheartedly that he deserves a shot at space, so Jo is going to trade in canning peaches, camping in the woods, and waiting for the snow to fall in favor of pool parties, sunshine, and life at the beach.
In Stardust Beach, Jo meets Frankie, Barbie, Carrie, and Jude, the wives of the other new NASA recruits. The women become fast friends, and almost immediately, they learn that leaning on one another is the only way theyre going to survive on Earth if their husbands leave to explore space.
As the world changes around them, the astronaut wives band together to confront the tumultuous times as a united front. Because when the president is shot, when war breaks out, and when personal tragedies crop up amongst them, they realize that sometimes all you need is a little help from your friends.
The women of Stardust Beach are strong and resilient, and they all want the same things: happiness, friendship, and love. As they support their husbands and raise their families in the shadow of Cape Kennedy, they share their love of sisterhood, they support one another through thick and thin, and they honor each others unique stories and personalities.
The Stardust Beach series will be eight books long and will have intertwining stories and characters, both sad and hopeful moments, beautiful friendships, romance, and plenty of laughter.
The series launches in August of 2024, and all books will be available in both digital and paperback formats.
