The award-winning, national bestselling author of Whistling Past
the Graveyard sends an unlikely trio on an exhilarating adventure
high above the American Midwest of the 1920s in a spirited,
"entertaining surprise" (Publishers Weekly) of a novel in league
with Water for Elephants and The Aviator's Wife. They are
barnstormers...the daredevil fliers whose airborne acrobatics are a
thrilling spectacle crisscrossing the Heartland skies. Rising above
each of their circumstances in their own "flying circus" are Cora
Rose Haviland, a privileged young woman left penniless when her
father's fortune is lost; Charles "Gil" Gilchrist, a World War I
pilot whose traumatic past fuels his death-defying stunts; and
eighteen-year-old Henry Schuler, the son of a German immigrant
farmer, on the run from shocking accusations. Each holds secrets
that could destroy their makeshift family. And, on their
adrenaline-charged journey of self-discovery, one of them must pay
the price. With the poignant and powerful storytelling voice that
made Whistling Past the Graveyard "a classic, a book people want to
pass along for generations to come", Susan Crandall artfully weaves
the stories of three unforgettable characters, each searching for
salvation that waits just beyond the horizon.
