To The Moon And Back

*To The Moon And Back* by Steph Harper is a sweeping coming-of-age novel that blends big dreams with the messy gravity of family, heritage and love. Set across three decades and multiple continents, it follows Steph as she strives to become the first Cherokee astronaut—determined to outrun a childhood shaped by violence and the fragile refuge her mother found in a small Cherokee community.

As Steph’s ambition sharpens, the story opens out through the intertwined lives of the three women closest to her: her sister Kayla, whose careful goodness hides quieter rebellions; her college girlfriend Della, wrestling with identity after a childhood shaped by the Indian Child Welfare Act; and her mother Hannah, carrying secrets that complicate everything her daughters believe about belonging.

Perfect for readers who love literary fiction, multi-generational family sagas, queer identity stories and Indigenous storytelling with emotional punch.

Add it to your cart and let this tender, starward novel take you somewhere new.
