ABOUT THE BOOK

Told with humor and a sense of awe...

You Don’t Look Like an Astronaut’s Wife is the improbable life journey from small town beginnings in Ohio, through formative years in Florida in the 1960s and 1970s. It's set against the thrilling backdrop of the U.S. Space Program from its early beginnings through Apollo, Shuttle and beyond. You'll have to read to find out how Mickey Mouse played an important role in the lives of Anita and Astronaut Ed Mitchell, the 6th man to walk on the moon. You'll be introduced to astronauts, Hollywood, TV celebrities, politicians, metaphysical researchers, well known scientists, academic leaders in UFO research (keep an eye out for Uri Gellar!) all who were at their dining room table at one time or another.  The best part? She will leave you with a spirit lift from her many authentic, relatable stories that will bring a smile (and sometime an outright laugh).  Anita's philosophy of "taking the good and leaving the rest" shines all the way through this book.  Through it all you'll find Anita has remained grounded, thanks to a strong family foundation, lifelong faith, and irrepressible love of life. You Don’t Look Like an Astronaut’s Wife is not just Anita’s journey, but, in part, the journey of our nation.
