The Secrets of Flight
Author: Maggie Leffler
Genre: Women's Commercial/Historical Fiction
Book Description:
Estranged from her family since just after World War II, Mary Browning has spent her entire adult life hiding from her Jewish heritage. Now eighty-seven years old and a widow, she is haunted by a lifetime of secrets and fading memories of the family she left behind. Her one outlet is the writing group she’s presided over for a decade, but when a new member walks in--a fifteen year old girl who reminds her so much of her beloved sister Sarah--Mary is certain fate delivered Elyse Strickler to her for a reason.
She hires the serious-eyed teenager to type up her story of a daring female pilot during WWII who gambled everything for her dreams--and both their lives take flight in unexpected ways.
At times laugh-out-loud funny and at others heart-wrenching, this is a story of identity, betrayal, love, hope, and forgiveness.

ReplyDeleteFavorite genre of book to read?
ReplyDeleteI come from Ohio which is the birthplace of the Wright brothers who pioneered flying airplanes. You don't find many books with female pilots as the lead character. My dad and brother used to fly and after their first solo flight, partook in the ritual of the tail of their shirt was cut off and dated in memory of that flight
ReplyDeleteWe also have a museum at Burke Lakefront Airport dedicated to female pilots.
