520    As America's Mercury Seven astronauts were launched on 
       death-defying missions, television cameras focused on the 
       brave smiles of their young wives. Overnight, these women 
       were transformed from military spouses into American 
       royalty. They had tea with Jackie Kennedy, appeared on the
       cover of Life magazine, and quickly grew into fashion 
       icons. Annie Glenn, with her picture-perfect marriage, was
       the envy of the other wives; JFK made it clear that 
       platinum-blond Rene Carpenter was his favorite; and 
       licensed pilot Trudy Cooper arrived with a secret that 
       needed to stay hidden from NASA. Together with the other 
       wives they formed the Astronaut Wives Club, providing one 
       another with support and friendship, coffee and cocktails.
       Many bought houses next door to one another, helping to 
       raise each other's children by day, while going to glam 
       parties at night as the country raced to land a man on the
       moon. As their celebrity rose - and as divorce and tragedy
       began to touch their lives - the wives continued to rally 
       together, forming bonds that would withstand the test of 
       time, and they have stayed friends for over half a 
       century. The Astronaut Wives Club tells the real story of 
       the women who stood beside some of the biggest heroes in 
       American history.
