The award-winning, national bestselling author of Whistling Past the Graveyard sends an unlikely trio on an exciting adventure high above the American Midwest of the 1920s in a spirited, “entertaining surprise” (Publishers Weekly) of the novel in league with Drinking water for Elephants as well as the Aviator’s Wife.

They may be barnstormers…the daredevil fliers whose airborne acrobatics certainly are a thrilling spectacle crisscrossing the Heartland skies. Rising above each of their circumstances in their personal “traveling about The Flying Circus circus” are Cora Rose Haviland, a privileged youthful woman still left penniless when her father’s fortune is dropped; Charles “Gil” Gilchrist, a global War I pilot whose distressing past fuels his death-defying stunts; and eighteen-year-old Henry Schuler, the son of the German immigrant farmer, on the run from surprising accusations. Each keeps secrets that could destroy their makeshift family members. And, on their adrenaline-charged journey of self-discovery, one of them must pay the purchase price.

Using the poignant and powerful storytelling voice that produced Whistling At night Graveyard “a vintage, a book people want to transfer for generations to come” (Feathered Quill Book Reviews), Susan Crandall artfully weaves the stories of three unforgettable characters, each looking for salvation that waits just beyond the horizon.
