About To Saints and Stars
Sofía, a NASA astronaut, and Zoe, the wife of a Greek Orthodox priest, have been friends since they were children and not a day has passed where they haven’t seen or spoken to each other. Their lives and friendship are forever changed when Zoe becomes pregnant with her first child and Sofia is chosen for the first manned Mission to Mars. As their priorities drift further away from each other, their relationship begins to become strained and their lives are changed forever. To Saints and Stars explores the intersection of science and faith and the power of lifelong friendship.
