Book Description:
Lisa Nowak was dedicated, smart, and courageous—one of the first astronauts to fly a space shuttle mission after the horrific 2003 Columbia disaster. But that was before a fit of pure, primal jealousy landed her in an airport parking lot in Florida, where Lisa had a fateful, near-fatal confrontation with the woman believed to be her romantic rival.
Did Lisa intend to kidnap—or kill—Air Force captain Colleen Shipman because she was involved with fellow astronaut William Oefelein? What was the nature of Lisa’s connection with William: True love or dangerous obsession? As the details of Lisa’s news-making journey unfolded—she donned a disguise, even wore a diaper during her 900-mile car ride to find Colleen—Americans couldn’t help but wonder: Why?
In this captivating account, master crime journalist Diane Fanning goes straight to the heart of the case. Through interviews with key family members, friends, and colleagues, the author reveals for the first time the real story behind the headlines—and casts a light on Lisa’s groundbreaking fall from grace.

This was a really good book - much more than I thought it might be. I thought it was well researched and really had some insight into why this happened. I was amazed it didn't happen sooner. I would recommend this book -

WAY too much description of the NASA space program! Seems like 3/4 of the book involved the program, the detail of the duties, etc. Very little insight into the parties involved and what caused them to go down this path; not only that of Lisa Nowak, but also her lover and husband...especially the husband. The book makes no mention of the dynamics within the marriage, and I was left still wondering what drove her to do what she did; it seems to easy to blame it on the "stress" of her job and losing friends in the Challenger disaster.
I would not recommend this book, and would still like to read an in-depth study of what lead to Lisa Nowak's behavior, becase I didn't read one with this book. I got a very good education on the NASA space program, but sadly that was not what I was looking for.
