After Pearl Harbor and the start of World War II, fiercely
independent heroine Velva Jean enlists, gets her wings, risks her
life, and her heart in this bold and inspiring novel from the
author of the New York Times bestseller All the Bright Places-soon
to be a Netflix film starring Elle Fanning. Bristling at the
limitations faced by a woman in rural Appalachia and fueled by the
memory of her late Mama telling her to "live out there," Velva Jean
hits the road to pursue her dream of singing at the Grand Ole Opry.
Little does she know that another captivating adventure awaits: one
that will send her literally soaring. But then, her beloved big
brother pays a surprise visit and treats Velva Jean to a flying
lesson that ignites a brand-new dream: to become a female pilot
with the WASPs of World War II. Funny, poignant, and utterly
unforgettable, Velva Jean Learns to Fly will have fans cheering all
over again.
