She can't believe what her mother is doing, but can she stop her? Meanwhile, her eighteen-year-old daughter, Natalie--reeling from a friend's death in Vietnam--has gone quiet. Too quiet. </p><p>As the moon landing draws near, Gwen must confront the limits of control, the weight of promises, and the terrifying beauty of letting go.</p>
