At twenty-seven, Jeanie Florence is shattering glass ceilings and forging a new path for women in the 1960s. As a NASA engineer, the shy, studious Jeanie has never been in a real relationship, and the closest she’s come to having real, adult feelings for a man is the way she feels about Bill Booker. But Bill is a married astronaut ten years her senior, and he is NOT a real prospect…if only Jeanie’s heart would get that fact the same way her brain does.
The glamour and excitement of the 60s plays out as a backdrop to Jeanie’s search for love and meaning, and as she dreams of going to space herself, she also wants to be the best engineer, daughter, sister, friend, and woman that she can. But is it ever really an option to have it all? Can one woman truly be all the things she wants to be while still doing the things she’s supposed to do?
The women of Stardust Beach are strong and resilient, and they all want the same things: happiness, friendship, and love. As they support their husbands and raise their families in the shadow of Cape Kennedy, they share their love of sisterhood, they support one another through thick and thin, and they honor each other’s unique stories and personalities.
The Stardust Beach series will be eight books long and will have intertwining stories and characters, both sad and hopeful moments, beautiful friendships, romance, and plenty of laughter.
