My Time with Astronauts

Faby Kushner was born in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France, and made Canada her home in 1971. Raised in French and educated in English in Montreal, Quebec, she spent 29 years navigating the inner workings of the Canadian government with dedication, a touch of humor, and a unique talent for deciphering astronaut acronyms no one else seemed to remember.

A proud mother of two, Faby finds joy in life's simple pleasures: paddleboarding at sunrise, running with the kind of freedom that clears the mind and fuels the soul, and losing herself in the vibrant swirl of acrylic paint. In 2018, a new chapter began when she moved to Ottawa and met the love of her life. Today, they split their time between Canada and the Dominican Republic, a tropical haven where her husband chases wind and waves, and she finds endless inspiration for her next creative pursuit.

This book is her testimony to resilience, reinvention, and finding your orbit, even when the flight plan veers off course and the ride gets bumpy.
