This book is not to be missed!” -Susan Crandall, author of THE FLYING CIRCUS Taylor Brown’s characters live the kind of bold, fearless lives we all envy.

Fierce and beautiful” -Kim Michele Richardson, author of THE BOOK WOMAN OF TROUBLESOME CREEK “Brown weaves a rich and poignant tale from a tidbit in Faulkner’s life around an aerial barnstorming couple of the 1930s. Gutsy, original, and powerfully imagined.” -Paula McClain, author of THE PARIS WIFE and WHEN THE STARS GO DARK Brown’s vision is as fresh and audacious as his language.
