June, 2014 - The Astronaut Wives Club - Vieux Carre

This month, Fluffy Ruffle drew from a non-fiction book for her source of women:  Lily Koppel's The Astronaut Wives Club.  (It was Friday the 13th, and a full moon, so the wives of the Apollo 13 mission was the focus.  Outside of this book, however, there was not a lot of information to be found about the women.  So, read the book!
