Grace Carter is a regular teenaged girl who likes astronomy and want to become an astrophysicist; just kind of a geeky high schooler. But her mother is someone entirely different. GC Carter is a celebrity news anchor, blond, thin, with gorgeous clothes and thousands of fans. Grace and her mother are very different. One day GG disappears with no warning. News crews flock to their house and reporters and news commentators speculate about what might have happened. Meanwhile Grace and her family wait for answers from the authorities. Trying to hold her life together, Grace continues to go to school where she grows closer to a really sweet boy named Mylo, who is facing grief of his own.

As the plot unfolds, Grace learns from her father and her grandmother some secrets from her mother’s long-lost past, and the more Grace learns, the more she wonders if she ever really knew her mother.

The mother-daughter dynamics, the friendships from school, and the geeky STEM-loving character of Grace make this an intriguing book. And as a bonus, in the story, Grace interviews her hero, Elizabeth Tasker, who is a real life famous astrophysicist and science communicator. See https://www.elizabethtasker.com/
