Read by Lorna Raver.
For much of her life, Anne Morrow, the shy daughter of the U.S. ambassador to Mexico, has stood in the shadows of those around her, including her millionaire father and vibrant older sister, who often steals the spotlight. Then Anne, a college senior with hidden literary aspirations, travels to Mexico City to spend Christmas with her family. There she meets Colonel Charles Lindbergh, fresh off his celebrated 1927 solo flight across the Atlantic. Enthralled by Charles's assurance and fame, Anne is certain the celebrated aviator has scarcely noticed her. But she is wrong.

moving story submitted by 21621031390949 on August 12, 2016, 10:16am I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this audio book. Obviously, much has been written about the Lindberghs, but for me, this was an introduction to their stories. I have no idea how true the portrayal of Anne is, but the author certainly created a credible characterization of both Anne and Charles. Also, as a mother who has lost a young child myself, I felt the author did a good job of capturing the drowning agony of that loss, and the steps to healing.
