She’s always lived by her heart.
Now the world is asking her to choose.
Carrie Reed has never been like the other astronaut wives—and she’s never tried to be. She gardens barefoot, raises her kids on vitamins and whole foods, and dreams of a more peaceful, just world. While her husband Jay trains for space missions, Carrie’s passion is right here on Earth: protecting the planet, fighting for civil rights, and teaching her children to do the same.
But the closer the country inches toward change, the more Carrie feels pulled in opposite directions. Voter registration drives in the South. Protests in D.C. The momentum of a movement. And through it all, a quiet voice inside her keeps asking: What more can I do?
Jay has always admired her spirit—but he’s also an astronaut in the national spotlight. And when Carrie’s activism begins to stir public attention, their easy, happy marriage is suddenly under strain. Because in 1968, the wife of a NASA hero is expected to smile, wave, and stay out of the headlines.
In a time of revolution and reckoning, Stardust Beach: Book Seven is a deeply moving story of one woman finding her voice, fighting for change, and learning that sometimes, the most radical thing you can do is stay true to yourself. For readers who love Sue Monk Kidd, Delia Owens, and Jacqueline Winspear.
Genre: General Fiction
