The Astronaut Wives Club by Lily Koppel
Despite having far too many names to keep track of (over 50 astronauts and their wives), and my general dislike for biography, this was really quite interesting. A decent read. No. 22 on my challenge. The pictures help to distinguish one astronaut wife from another.
