Three weeks before her first space launch, astronaut Mia Gray is involved in a car accident. Her injuries not only keep her from the mission but also mean she may not ever be able to do her job again. Mia is devastated, but she refuses to give up on her lifelong desire to see Earth from space. Mia discovers that there are other options besides working at NASA, ones where her limitations might not be an issue. Leaving her husband and old life behind, she moves across the country to live with her mother and find another way to travel to space. Mia doesn’t care that the alternatives are dangerous. She will do anything to reach her goal. A new program places Mia in a long, perilous simulation run by a questionable organization.

Come Back
Author: Claire Fontaine
Publisher: Harper Collins
ISBN: 0061979686
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 519
Book Description
The unflinching true account of a teenage girl's descent into society's underbelly -- and her mother's desperate and ultimately successful attempts to bring her back. How does an honor student at one of Los Angeles's finest prep schools -- a bright, beautiful girl from a loving home -- trade school uniforms and afternoons at the beach for shooting up in the back of a van in rural Indiana? How does her devoted mother emerge from the shock of finding that her daughter has not only disappeared but had been living a secret life for more than a year? Mother and daughter tell their parallel stories in mesmerizing first-person accounts. Claire Fontaine's story is a parent's worst nightmare, a cautionary tale chronicling her daughter Mia's drug-fueled manipulation of everyone around her as she sought refuge in the seedy underworld of criminals and heroin addicts, the painful childhood secrets that led up to it, and the healing that followed. Her search for Mia was brutal for both mother and daughter, a dizzying series of dead ends, incredible coincidences and, at times, miracles. Ultimately, Mia was forced into harsh-but-loving boot camp schools on two continents while Claire entered a painful but life-changing program of her own. Mia's story includes the jarring culture shock of the extreme and controversial behavior modification school she was in for nearly two years, which helped her overcome depression and self-hatred to emerge a powerful young woman with self-esteem and courage. An unforgettable story of love and transformation, Come Back is a heart-wrenching and humorous portrayal of the primal bond between mother and daughter that will resonate with women everywhere.
