Set amidst the lush pine forests and rich savannas of
Florida’s Northern Panhandle, HOW CLARISSA BURDEN LEARNED TO
FLY tells the story of one woman whose existence until now
has seemed fairly normal: she is 30-something, married, and
goes about her daily routine as a writer. However, it is
soon discovered that ghosts, an indifferent husband, and a
seemingly terminal case of writer’s block are burdening
Clarissa’s life. She awakes on the summer solstice and,
prodded by her own discontent and one ghost’s righteous need
for truth, commences upon a twenty-four hour journey of
self-discovery. Her harrowing, funny, and startling adventures lead Clarissa
to a momentous decision: She must find a way to do the
unthinkable. Her life and the well-being of a remarkable
family of blithe spirits hang in the balance. Connie May
Fowler demonstrates her keen abilities as a storyteller in
this remarkably original novel about an unexpected mid-life
awakening. This is an empowering story that will resonate
and be discussed for years to come.
