As America's Mercury Seven astronauts were launched on
death-defying missions, television cameras focused on the brave
smiles of their young wives. Overnight, these women were
transformed from military spouses into American royalty. They had
tea with Jackie Kennedy, appeared on the cover of "Life" magazine,
and quickly grew into fashion icons.
Annie Glenn, with her picture-perfect marriage, was the envy of the
other wives; JFK made it clear that platinum-blonde Rene Carpenter
was his favorite; and licensed pilot Trudy Cooper arrived with a
secret that needed to stay hidden from NASA. Together with the
other wives they formed the Astronaut Wives Club, providing one
another with support and friendship, coffee and cocktails. As their
celebrity rose--and as divorce and tragic death began to touch
their lives--they continued to rally together, and forming bonds
that would withstand the test of time, and they have stayed friends
for over half a century. THE ASTRONAUT WIVES CLUB tells the real
story of the women who stood beside some of the biggest heroes in
American history.
