This is the fourth novel in the Blue Sky Hill series, and although it involved some characters from previous novels as minor characters, it was unique and could be read on its own.

Main characters are J. Norman, a retired NASA scientist, recently widowed, who feels there's not much worth living for in life, and Epiphany, a teenager whose ethnic heritage and parental situation make life challenging. Their unlikely friendship empowers them to research their family histories and have some adventure along the way. I enjoyed the way the author wove the history of the US vs. Russia race to the moon into the storyline.

This series reminded me that even though a group of people may live in close proximity to each other, each person has his/her own circumstances, challenges, and goals.
