SHE MUST FIND HER OWN PLACE AMONG THE STARS. Caroline Herschel has always lived in the shadows. Beholden to her wildly popular
older brother, William, who rescued her from servitude, she's worked hard to build a life for herself--one where she can go unnoticed and repay the debt she believes she owes. But when her brother becomes obsessed with sweeping the heavens, everything changes. Newly appointed as the King's Astronomer, William is rushed away from the bustling streets of Bath to the quiet countryside of Windsor. When Caroline makes a discovery that could send her right back to the people she was rescued from, she has no choice but to leave her carefully constructed life and follow her brother. Taking up the position as William's assistant, Caroline resolves to learn everything she can about astronomy. But the more she understands, the more she falls in love with her telescope, and soon, she discovers that she might be good at science-- great , even--and that the stars could offer her the freedom she's always secretly wanted. When it's clear that Caroline is just as much the astronomer as her brother, she realizes she must break free from the life she has lived and find her own place in the night sky. Based on the true story of Caroline Herschel, The Woman and Her Stars shines a light on a woman who was raised to believe she was worth nothing more than to serve others but whose genius and resolve made her one of the world's leading astronomers. An awe-inspiring story set within the societal boundaries of the Georgian era, it's a hopeful journey of self-discovery, familial bonds, and passion. "This intimate, vivid portrait of legendary astronomer Caroline Herschel is fantastic reading ... A tender, inspiring novel. Don't miss it!" -- Audrey Blake , USA Today bestselling author of All in Her Hands
