The Astronaut Wives Club: A True Story

While the world has been told the stories of the original Mercury 7 astronauts and the stories of their successors, the story of the quiet heroes in those who waited for them, stood by them, and, essentially, were their top PR representatives has never been revealed in such a thorough telling. The author does a fantastic job at keeping the stories of the women and their husbands intertwined yet separate. There is the fun, "gossipy" side of the book, but also a great insight into the fear, exhaustion, strength and sorrow these great women experienced. I highly recommend this book.

As America's Mercury Seven astronauts were launched on death-defying missions, television cameras focused on the brave smiles of their young wives. Overnight, these women were transformed from military spouses into American royalty. They had tea with Jackie Kennedy, appeared on the cover of Life magazine, and quickly grew into fashion icons.

Annie Glenn, with her picture-perfect marriage, was the envy of the other wives; JFK made it clear that platinum-blonde Rene Carpenter was his favorite; and licensed pilot Trudy Cooper arrived with a secret that needed to stay hidden from NASA. Together with the other wives they formed the Astronaut Wives Club, providing one another with support and friendship, coffee and cocktails.

As their celebrity rose--and as divorce and tragic death began to touch their lives--they continued to rally together, and forming bonds that would withstand the test of time, and they have stayed friends for over half a century. THE ASTRONAUT WIVES CLUB tells the real story of the women who stood beside some of the biggest heroes in American history.
