The Sky Was Ours

Fassler excels at detailing the nuances of his three characters’ personalities as well as the landscape of Lack and the beauty of human flight.

The Wild Silence

Winn’s writing beautifully evokes the natural world, whether she is describing a doe rummaging in an orchard or her innermost conflicted feelings. This is a perfect “what happened next” memoir that gives closure to readers of the first book, and which both fans and new readers will enjoy.
