Letters to Amelia
by Lindsay Zier-Vogel
Description
Grace Porter is a 30-something year old library tech who is captivated by the life of the famous pilot, Amelia Earhart. After her partner of seven years leaves her unexpectedly, Grace finds herself in Newfoundland, where Amelia took off for both transatlantic flights. Reeling in grief, she starts writing letters to Amelia—her friend, her hero, her mentor, her confidante—who disappeared over the Pacific in 1937.
Just as she begins to piece her life back together, Grace learns she is pregnant and begins excavating her own history and building her personal strength, by digging up bits of inspiration in the biographical remains of another.
Out of fear of losing herself in motherhood, Grace becomes fixated on Amelia’s final flight around the equator. The terrifying charge of her third trimester also coincides with new conspiracy theories about Amelia’s disappearance and a scientific search for Amelia’s remains on a tiny South Pacific island. Consumed by the anxiety of finding out what actually happened to Amelia during her final moments, Grace goes on one last pilgrimage.
