What’s an astronaut to do if she can’t go to space? Astronaut Mia Gray’s life goal is to explore space. She’s weeks from achieving that goal when she’s badly injured in a car accident. NASA grounds her. Forever. She learns about a space simulation to try to telepathically contact extraterrestrial life. If it’s successful, the funder will take the experiment to space, and Mia might get to go. The project is weird and potentially dangerous, but she will do anything to get her old life back.
