In the wake of a catastrophic meteor strike that devastates the eastern United States in 1952, Earth is thrown into a climate crisis that threatens the future of humanity. As nations scramble to colonize space, one woman—brilliant mathematician and former WWII pilot Elma York—fights against societal norms to become the first lady astronaut. Facing sexism, political resistance, and her own fears, Elma must prove that she belongs among the stars. A gripping tale of ambition, resilience, and hope, this alternate history reimagines the space race through the eyes of those determined to break the barriers of both gravity and prejudice.
