From the bestselling and award-winning author of
Whistling Past the Graveyard comes an adventure tale
about two daredevils and a farm boy who embark on the
journey of a lifetime across America’s heartland in the
Roaring Twenties.
Set in the rapidly changing world
of 1920s America, this is a story of three people from very
different backgrounds: Henry “Schuler” Jefferson, son of
German immigrants from Midwestern farm country; Cora Rose
Haviland, a young woman of privilege whose family has lost
their fortune; and Charles “Gil” Gilchrist, an emotionally
damaged WWI veteran pilot. Set adrift by life-altering
circumstances, they find themselves bound together by need
and torn apart by blind obsessions and conflicting goals.
Each one holds a secret that, if exposed, would destroy
their friendship. But their journey of adventure and
self-discovery has a price—and one of them won’t be able to
survive it.
As they crisscross the heartland,
exploring the rapidly expanding role of aviation from
barnstorming to bootlegging, from a flying circus to the
dangerous sport of air racing, the three companions form a
makeshift family. It’s a one-of-a-kind family, with members
as adventurous as they are vulnerable, and as fascinating as
they are flawed. But whatever adventure—worldly or
private—they find themselves on, they’re guaranteed to be a
family you won’t forget.
