This book primarily follows  Steph, as she grows up and follows her dream of becoming the first Native American astronaut in space. But this bookis so much more than that. It's about relationships. It's about starting over after leaving an abusive marriage; it's about learning how to be queer and Native American; it's about rebuilding relationships with parents, siblings and friends; it's about learning how to accept yourself. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to future works from this author.
Thank you to netgalley and the author for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.
