This is the feminine view of the space race and has never been done before by an insider. Keeper of the Flame is a metaphor for the universal story of every traditional married woman who found herself exposed to the possibilities offered by the changing world of the 60's. It is also pertinent for those younger women who struggle to combine career and family. Jennifer Davis, though she has ambitions of her own, supports her husband as he focuses exclusively on getting to the moon. She pushes the traditional envelope of her life as best she can much to NASA's displeasure. When a friendship with a television producer threatens to become intimate during her husband's month long stay on the moon, she is forced to reexamine her core values as she meets the tough choices that face her head on.
