More about the book
From a house near Chicago, Cassie O'Malley sneaks out at night to admire planes, dreaming of flying despite her World War I veteran father Pat wanting a son, not a daughter, to take to the skies. Cassie's passion for aviation is undeniable, and her father's junior partner, Nick "Stick" Galvin, recognizes her talent. As a fellow war ace, he becomes her confidant and mentor, eager to teach her the art of flying and grant her the freedom it brings. When California entrepreneur Desmon Williams spots Cassie at a local airshow, he invites her to California, where she breaks new ground as a test pilot and quickly becomes a media sensation. With aspirations to surpass Amelia Earhart's records, Cassie trains rigorously for a remarkable journey around the world. However, as she navigates public appearances and press scrutiny, she realizes that her life extends beyond headlines. Determined to forge her own path, she pushes her limits and risks everything to pursue her destiny. Set against a backdrop of change and adventure, this story captures a time when courage reshaped modern aviation.
