Ayana Kenes, a peasant girl from Kazakhstan, unexpectedly finds herself at the forefront of the Soviet Space program. Tasked with the mission to expedite Laika, the first dog to orbit the Earth, Ayana's focus wavers when she encounters Nikolai Yinski, a quirky and artistic lab technician with a deep affection for Laika and the program's other dogs.

As the Space Race intensifies, Ayana and Nikolai's passionate and suspense-filled romance takes center stage. Ayana, the scientific prodigy, is drawn to Nikolai's Bohemian charm, creating a tumultuous dynamic against the backdrop of historical significance.

"Laika... A Love Story" promises readers a captivating narrative blending true love, magic, and the tension of a bygone era. McCarney's debut novel is poised to make a significant mark in the world of literature.
