Books[edit]

Koppel's book The Red Leather Diary: Reclaiming a Life Through the Pages of a Lost Journal was published by HarperCollins on April 1, 2008. The book is about her discovery of a young woman's diary, kept in New York in the 1930s, and its return to Florence Wolfson Howitt, its owner, at age 90. The diary was recovered from a steamer trunk found in a dumpster outside of Koppel's apartment building on the Upper West SideofManhattan. The non-fiction book is based on Koppel's New York Times City section cover story.[2]

Her second book, The Astronaut Wives Club, was published by Grand Central Publishing on June 11, 2013.[3] The book served as the basis for the ABC short-run TV series The Astronaut Wives Club, which premiered in June 2015.[4]
