The year is 1968, a period of political upheaval and devastating assassinations. As the conflict in Vietnam intensifies and the space race reaches its climax, the world braces for the possibility of nuclear war.
Amidst this chaos, 16-year-old Josie Thompson of Cape Canaveral, Florida, dreams of working for NASA. She's a bit of a geek, knowing everything from sub-orbital trajectories to the fuel burn rate of the Saturn 1B. But with a father who is gone, a mom struggling to make ends meet, and a brother throwing away his future for his family and his nation, Josie doubts her dream can survive.
One nation ripping itself apart. One family struggling to hold itself together. One girl reaching for the stars.
