Americans in Space by Mary E. Mitchell

A young widow with two children aged 14 and 2 is coping with the loss of her husband and the loss of a teenager in her counseling group. Kate appears to be handling her life on the surface but underneath it all she is unraveling.

In a desperate effort to escape the pressures of her life, Kate decides to take a sabbatical and plans to visit her parents in Texas. Things change and she heads in a different direction. Hunter and Charlotte, Kate’s children are coping with their own loss and both have to come to terms with it.

This was a run-of-the-mill story and reminded me of Laura Moriarity’s The Center of Everything.
