I didn’t recognize this author’s name when I first started this story, but I was happy to discover I had one of her books, The Ragged Edge of Night, added to my TBR. I enjoyed this story set during the space race to the moon in the 1960s.
“Alan knew he’d gone and done it when he stumbled out of his car in the crowded parking lot of Saint Teresa’s and there was George Doherty, who would be Alan’s father-in-law a few hours from now, waiting for him in the glaring June sunlight.”
With the opening lines, this story jumps right into the fray, and it was a nice change of pace to read a story within the A Point in Time collection that’s less dark even though it tackles some serious issues. It’s a story that looks at the space race from a different and unexpected angle, that of an Apollo 11 engineer and his rocky start to his new marriage that happens to occur within weeks of the famed moon landing. There was no author’s note at the end of this one, so I’m not sure if the main characters are historical, but I look forward to reading more from this author!
