Summary

February 1, 2003. A light flashed over a Texas sky and twisted metal rained across the countryside. As images of the wreckage from the Space Shuttle Columbia streamed across the nation's television screens, they became forever burned into our memories. But behind those images were stories that remained untold...until now.

This story, High Calling, is the stirring portrait of Rick Husband, commander of the Space Shuttle Columbia. His widow, Evelyn Husband, leads you on Rick's journey from a childhood dream, through the heart of the American space program, and into the vastness of space itself.

As you experience the events leading up to the final, tragic moments of the Columbia, you'll be inspired by teh faith of Rick Husband. For it is his faith that powerfully transforms this account of heartbreaking loss into a very different story; one of courage, hope, and triumph.

Moving and Powerful

It takes a brave person to write and narrate a biography of their husband who passed away in the Columbia Space Shuttle tragedy in the same year. This is an emotional but also uplifting tribute to the life of Rick Husband, Commander of Columbia’s final mission STS-107 in 2003. References to Commander Husband’s, and his family’s, strong faith are a large part of the book. You cannot help but be moved by it. I hope that it helped the author to come to terms with the loss.
