I would recommend "I Touch the Future" (I think that's the title, since I
don't have the book with me). It's a good, direct writeup by a reporter 
from Christa's home town. He had the closest contact of anyone during the
selection process and her training.

   Try "I touched the Future"...written by a reporter assigned to cover
the "Teacher in Space" angle of the mission.  He bacame friends of the
family and really put together a great book/biography!

                        Enjoy it when you find it!
