The #1 New York Times bestselling memoir that inspired
the film October Sky, Rocket Boys is a uniquely
American memoir--a powerful, luminous story of coming of age at the
dawn of the 1960s, of a mother's love and a father's fears, of a
group of young men who dreamed of launching rockets into outer
space . . . and who made those dreams come true.
With the grace of a natural storyteller, NASA engineer Homer Hickam
paints a warm, vivid portrait of the harsh West Virginia mining
town of his youth, evoking a time of innocence and promise, when
anything was possible, even in a company town that swallowed its
men alive. A story of romance and loss, of growing up and getting
out, Homer Hickam's lush, lyrical memoir is a chronicle of
triumph--at once exquisitely written and marvelously
entertaining.
Now with 8 pages of photographs.
