Spacewalker: My Journey in Space and Faith as NASA's Record-Setting Frequent Flyer/ Jerry L. Ross/ 274 pp

Jerry Ross decided he wanted to be an astronaut from an early age.  His book takes us from his childhood in Indiana to his retirement from NASA.  Along the way, he goes into space on the shuttle seven times and out on space walks nine times.

I loved this book. It gives the reader a peek into the space program and what it is like to be an astronaut.  He writes with such humor and seems so humble and grateful for what he has been able to do.  This book isn't just for those who have ever dreamed of being an astronaut but also for anyone who has ever had a dream. It is a testament of someone who was willing to dream big, work hard and keep going when there are setbacks along the way.
