The fairy-tale life she once longed for will bring heartbreak and hardships, ultimately pushing her to reconcile her need for love and her desire for independence, and to embrace, at last, life’s infinite possibilities for change and happiness. But despite this and other major achievements, she is viewed merely as the aviator’s wife. In the years that follow, Anne becomes the first licensed female glider pilot in the United States. The two marry in a headline-making wedding. Charles sees in Anne a kindred spirit, a fellow adventurer, and her world will be changed forever. Enthralled by Charles’s assurance and fame, Anne is certain the aviator has scarcely noticed her. When Anne Morrow, a shy college senior with hidden literary aspirations, travels to Mexico City to spend Christmas with her family, she meets Colonel Charles Lindbergh, fresh off his celebrated 1927 solo flight across the Atlantic. In the spirit of Loving Frank and The Paris Wife, acclaimed novelist Melanie Benjamin pulls back the curtain on the marriage of one of America’s most extraordinary couples: Charles Lindbergh and Anne Morrow Lindbergh.
