Born to a traditional family in Karnal, Haryana, Kalpana Chawla was the youngest of four children. She fought odds and overcame obstacles to pursue aeronautical engineering from Punjab Engineering College and then went abroad to earn a doctorate in aerospace engineering from the University of Colorado, USA.

She joined NASA, where she was described as a 'terrific engineer'. Soon, she was selected as an astronaut candidate. She made the journey into space not once but twice. Her promising life ended tragically during her second tour to space, when the space shuttle Columbia disintegrated on February 1, ,2003.

This book chronicles her entire life, from her childhood to joining NASA and her last sojourn in space. The author not only captures the defining moments in Kalpana Chawla's life, but also inspires people to follow their passion and never give up on their dreams.
