Night Flying
Preview: Hear it

Georgia Hansen can fly. All the women in her family can. They fly at night, when the world sleeps, for no one must discover their secret. Georgia will soon turn 16 and make her first solo flight, taking up her birthright with a special ceremony to mark the occasion. But her anticipation is disrupted with the arrival of her rebellious Aunt Carmen. Banished from the family years before for breaking the strict code of flying enforced by Georgias grandmother, this unknown aunt reveals the true price of her familys gift, for the Hansen rules of flying are strict and unforgiving. In this powerful comingofage novel, Georgia must weigh the cost of her heritage against her passion for flight.
