Sally Ride: Life on a Mission (A Real-Life Story)

Sally Ride: Life on a Mission (A Real-Life Story)

Sally Ride was more than the first woman in spaceâ€”she was a real-life explorer and adventurer whose life story is a true inspiration for all those who dream big.

Most people know Sally Ride as the first American female astronaut to travel in space. But in her lifetime she was also a nationally ranked tennis player, a physicist who enjoyed reading Shakespeare, a university professor, and the founder of a company that helped inspire girls and young women to pursue careers in science and math. Posthumously, she was a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

From Sally Rideâ€™s youth to her many groundbreaking achievements in space and beyond, Sue Macyâ€™s riveting biography tells the story of not only a pioneering astronaut, but a leader and explorer whose life, as President Barack Obama said, â€œdemonstrates that the sky is no limit for those who dream of reaching for the stars.â€
