Joan and Vanessa are among the second round of women admitted to the astronaut program in the 1980s and fall in love. Era-appropriate sexism, misogyny, and homophobia are present. In addition, Joan’s niece Frances is neglected by her mother on multiple occasions in the book and is ultimately abandoned by her, leaving Joan to take over raising her.
