===

Steph Harper was born running. Now she is reaching for the moon.

When Steph was five, her mother fled with Steph and her little sister to a small Cherokee community, searching for safety, home and a future.

Years later, Steph has one impossible ambition: to become the first Cherokee astronaut. To get there, she is willing to leave almost everything behind - her past, her family, and the people who know her best.

But ambition has a gravity of its own. As Steph chases the stars, the women closest to her are pulled into their own reckonings: Kayla, her brilliant younger sister; Hannah, the mother guarding a buried family history; and Della, the girlfriend who challenges Steph's idea of escape.

Spanning decades, continents and one unforgettable family, To the Moon and Back is a sweeping literary family saga about queer love, Cherokee identity, mothers and daughters, sacrifice and the price of chasing a dream when home still has a hold on you.
