SUMMARY:THACKER MOUNTAIN RADIO HOUR: Eliana Ramage for To the Moon and Back
DESCRIPTION:About the book \nMy mother took my sister and me\, and she drove through the night to a place she felt a claim to\, a place on earth she thought we might be safe. I stopped asking questions. I picked little glass pieces from my sister’s hair. I watched the moon. \nSteph Harper is on the run. When she was five\, her mother fled an abusive husband—with Steph and her younger sister in tow—to Cherokee Nation\, where she hoped they might finally belong. In response\, Steph sets her sights as far away from Oklahoma as she can get\, vowing that she will let nothing get in the way of pursuing the rigorous physical and academic training she knows she will need to be accepted by NASA\, and ultimately\, to go to the moon. \nTold through an intricately woven tapestry of narrative\, To the Moon and Back is an astounding and expansive novel of mothers and daughters\, love and sacrifice\, alienation and heartbreak\, terror and wonder. At its core\, it is the story of the extraordinary lengths to which one woman will go to find space for herself. \nAbout the author \nEliana Ramage holds an MFA in fiction from the Iowa Writers’ Workshop. She has received residencies and fellowships from the Kimmel Harding Nelson Center\, Lambda Literary\, Tin House\, and Vermont Studio Center. A citizen of the Cherokee Nation\, she lives in Nashville with her family. To the Moon and Back is her first novel.
