My Time with Astronauts: I Put the Not in Astronaut
by Faby Kushner

In this candid, courageous, and often unexpectedly funny memoir, Faby Kushner invites readers into a world of rocket launches, astronaut encounters, and the delicate art of rationing shrimp at cocktail parties.

But behind the glamour of shuttle missions, personal ties to space icons, and visits to NASA lies a deeper story, one shaped by challenge, reinvention, and quiet resilience. Faby faced unrelenting workplace gossip, the pain of divorce, and moments when life knocked her flat. And yet, through each setback, she rose, rebuilding her life piece by piece, discovering not just how to survive, but how to thrive.

This isn't a story of perfection. It's a story of perseverance. Of daring to believe that the best chapters might still lie ahead.

If you've ever found yourself staring down a version of life you didn't ask for, this book offers more than just a glimpse of hope; it's a witty, heartfelt reminder that reinvention is always possible, and joy can reappear when you least expect it.
