This was the first book I requested to review , and I'm happy that I had the opportunity to "meet" Sara and learn about her life and her passions. I do read and enjoy some memoirs, and I share my grown son's continuing fascination with astronomy, but I wasn't at all sure …more what to expect from this book. What I learned and enjoyed was Sara's writing voice, the generously-shared intimate details of her life, and even the technological aspects of her work (although I didn't understand all of it). I have already recommended this memoir to my book club, as most of it is an easy read due to the writer's skill in weaving her personal life and public persona into a memoir that reads like a novel. Thank you again for the opportunity! (less)
