Description
Wally Funk always wanted to fly, ever since she was a little girl growing up in New Mexico. She learned to fly airplanes in college, and then she competed in tests to become an astronaut for the United States. When the government refused to accept women in the program, Wally chased her dream in other ways ... For the first time, Wally tells the story of an ordinary girl who led an extraordinary life because she stayed true to her dream. -- back cover
