I intended to read this book for awhile and finally got around to it. It is a tear-jerker to be sure, but an excellent peek into the the life of a truly driven, yet loving man.
In this memoir, Evelyn Husband describes how her husband, Rick, commander of the ill-fated space shuttle Columbia, grew up longing to be an astronaut; how his dream came true; and how it ended with his death in Columbia's explosion in February 2003.
Details about NASA, quotes from Rick's journal, and interviews with those who knew him add depth, but this is at its heart a story of Christian faith and how Rick Husband grew in his walk with the Lord as he approached being a husband and father with the same tenacity (or more) with which he pursued his dream of being an astronaut.
I was inspired by his story, his zest for life, and his longing to be what God called him to be.
