The Flying Circus
About This Book
The award-winning, national bestselling author of Whistling Past the Graveyard sends an unlikely trio on an exhilarating adventure high above the American Midwest of the 1920s in a spirited, "entertaining surprise" ( Publishers Weekly ) of a novel in league with Water for Elephants and The Aviator's Wife. They are barnstormersâŚthe daredevil fliers whose airborne acrobatics are a thrilling spectacle crisscrossing the Heartland skies. Rising above each of their circumstances in their own "flying circus" are Cora Rose Haviland, a privileged young woman left penniless when her father's fortune is lost; Charles "Gil" Gilchrist, a World War I pilot whose traumatic past fuels his death-defying stunts; and eighteen-year-old Henry Schuler, the son of a German immigrant farmer, on the run from shocking accusations. Each holds secrets that could destroy their makeshift family. And, on their adrenaline-charged journey of self-discovery, one of them must pay the price.With the poignant and powerful storytelling voice that made Whistling Past the Graveyard "a classic, a book people want to pass along for generations to come" ( Feathered Quill Book Reviews ), Susan Crandall artfully weaves the stories of three unforgettable characters, each searching for salvation that waits just beyond the horizon.
