Light From Other Stars by Erika Swyler is a wonderful novel about a young girl growing up in a small Florida town, watching Space Shuttles launch and determined to go into space herself one day. Both her parents are scientists and her father is working on an invention that will have ramifications for the whole town.
Traveling back in forth in time and space, Swyler has crafted a fantastic story about the relationship between parents and their children, the responsibility and accountability of science, the joy and wonder of the unknown, as well as an exploration of friendship, love, loss and grief.
An awe-filled adventure for those willing to suspend their disbelief and enjoy the ride.
