About this listen
Francesca Lombardi’s ascent from glamorous Rockette in the late 1950s to star of the Broadway stage seemed like a given; nothing could stand in her way. But something did—something broke her spirit and she gave up dancing and left New York for good, swearing that she’d never set foot on a stage again...
Fast forward a few years and Francesca has been refashioned as Frankie, gorgeous wife to one of NASA’s newest astronauts, Ed Maxwell. Frankie’s new group of friends loves her for her acerbic wit and sharp outlook on life, and her close friendship with Jo Booker is keeping both women afloat as they find their way in Stardust Beach.
But something in Frankie’s past is haunting her—and haunting her otherwise happy marriage to Ed. After three years, their house is still empty of the sounds of laughter and little feet, and Frankie can’t bring herself to let her guard down enough to share her pain with anyone…not even her husband.
Can Frankie find a way to heal her own broken heart so that her marriage to Ed doesn’t burn out too soon? Will the new women in her life help her find her way back to the stage again—back to dancing like her life depends on it? Because it kind of does…if Frankie ever wants to be herself again, she needs to finally let go—and let people in.
The women of Stardust Beach are strong and resilient, and they all want the same things: happiness, friendship, and love. As they support their husbands and raise their families in the shadow of Cape Kennedy, they share their love of sisterhood, they support one another through thick and thin, and they honor each other’s unique stories and personalities.
The Stardust Beach series will be eight books long and will have intertwining stories and characters, both sad and hopeful moments, beautiful friendships, romance, and plenty of laughter.
The series launches in August of 2024, and all books will be available in both digital and paperback formats.

1963. Cape Kennedy, Florida. The world is watching the skies— but five women are fighting battles no one sees.

But behind the smiles and poolside interviews, her marriage is quietly cracking under the pressure. The danger isn’t just in space. ...

The women bonding
The narration was hard to listen to because it is AI. Words are pronounced wrong, context is lost on some topics. The word bow as in bow tie was pronounced bow as in taking a bow! Annoying at times
