As America’s Mercury Seven astronauts were launched into space, television cameras focused on the brave smiles of their young wives. Overnight, these women were transformed into American royalty. As their celebrity rose — and as divorce and death began to touch their lives — they continued to rally together, and the wives have now been friends for more than 50 years. The Astronaut Wives Club tells the story of the women who stood beside some of the biggest heroes in American history. Published in 2013; 302 pages.

Includes 15 paperback copies and 1 book club guide prepared by WCPL.
