Description
Joan Goodwin has always looked to the stars. A brilliant physics professor at Rice University and devoted aunt, she never imagined she might one day reach space herself—until NASA opens its shuttle program to women. From thousands of applicants in 1980, Joan is chosen to train at Houston’s Johnson Space Center, joining a trailblazing class of astronauts who will change history.
As Joan pushes her limits alongside fellow candidates — from fearless pilots to sharp-edged scientists and engineers — she discovers unexpected friendship, unshakable ambition, and a love that redefines her universe. But when mission STS-LR9 launches in December 1984, everything changes in a single moment.
Fast-paced, emotional, and unforgettable, Atmosphere is Taylor Jenkins Reid at her best: a sweeping story of love, friendship, and the courage it takes to reach for the stars.
