Synopsis

Richard Braedecker thought his greatest challenge was walking on the moon, but that was until he meets a mysterious woman who shows him his past. Join Braedecker as he comes to grips with the son and wife he lost in his passion for space exploration, his forgotten childhood and the loss he experienced during the death-flight of the Challenger. The most difficult exploration of his life is not the cold, rocky cervices of the moon, but the warm interior of his heart. Brilliant and beautifully written, PHASES OF GRAVITY is a masterpiece that combines love and loss that transports readers far beyond the confines of space and time.
