“Hayley brings the same optimism and determination to launching into space that she did overcoming childhood cancer. Her passion for life and adventure in the face of obstacles is both moving and inspiring. If challenges loom between you and your dreams, read this book and take notes!”—Cady Coleman, retired NASA astronaut

“In her gripping and inspiring first memoir, Hayley Arceneaux exhibits just the right stuff that made her an overnight national darling and a shining role model for anyone who has faced adversity: bravery, resilience, optimism, faith, humor, honor—and enough heart to power a fleet of spaceships to the cosmos and beyond. Wild Ride is a potent reminder to all of us that nothing on earth—or in the heavens, for that matter—can keep us from becoming commanders of our own destiny.”—Marlo Thomas, actor, author, and national outreach director for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital

“Wild Ride is an inspiring story of hope and inspiration that demonstrates that kids with cancer can go on to achieve great things. It’s a shining example for anyone looking for the motivation to keep moving forward despite their own personal challenges. Hayley Arceneaux’s vivid narratives made me feel like I was back in space. Great job, astronaut!”—Captain Scott Kelly, U.S. Navy (retired), former NASA astronaut
