Review
"A Journal for Christa is the unmistakable work of a justifiably proud mother sharing her pleasure and pride in her daughter's accomplishments through stories of ordinary and exceptional matters, family and public. Through vignettes of family life across four generations, she celebrates the qualities that made Christa the unanimous choice for 'Teacher in Space': her enjoyment of life, generous spirit, and sensitivity, backed by intelligence, high standards, and determination... A warm, personal view of an admirable woman by the woman who taught her and loved her."--Booklist "Corrigan blames the tragedy on NASA and 'its egos, marginal decisions, ignorance and irresponsibility.' However, the author also dwells on the heady period of her daughter's selection, the 114 hours of preparation for the flight and the quantities of mail, awards, tributes and memorials in McAuliffe's honor."--Publishers Weekly "A straightforward account of one woman's 'ordinary' life: a life made extraordinary nevertheless by a passion for teaching coupled with a rare and unexpected chance to chase [her] dreams toward the stars."--Boston Globe "A memorable, sometimes poignant, look back at the life of Christa McAuliffe."--American Teacher "A Journal for Christa recounts Christa's life as only a mother would know it, filled with details of family life, photographs, and excerpts of Christa's many letters home... Christa McAuliffe's life serves as an inspiration to people everywhere--and perhaps especially to young women--to live life fully, with a sense of adventure and purpose."--Odyssey
