Falling into the Stars

This novel takes place in New Mexico and Texas. It is the story of two families, from the 1940s until recent times; their loves and losses, and one man’s fight against alcoholism. There are no easy answers here, but I suspect most readers will recognize, especially in the lives of Jimmy Telferner and Christina Campana, the struggles we all must face in our lives.

Thomas Turrentine grew up in New Mexico. He was in the Navy a couple of times flying around looking at the ocean, worked for several aerospace companies, has trained a bunch of airline pilots, and traveled more than most people. These days, he works on restoring a steam locomotive, amateur astronomy, writing, photography, and occasionally plays cowboy on a remote ranch.
