This month's book discussion exploring the unknown realms of fantasy, science fiction and horror will be on Light from Other Stars by Erika Swyler.
Decades after her grieving father, a laid-off NASA scientist, triggers chaotic changes in his pursuit of life-extending technology, an astronaut confronts dangerous family secrets to stop a world-threatening crisis.
This book combines a coming of age story with a tale of scientific exploration with a narrative that stretches from the explosion of the Challenger in 1986 to an advance mission by a team of astronauts looking for a new home for the human race. At the center is a bright young girl named Nedda who is trying to find her place in her secret-filled family and the confusing world around her.
