Book Description
for Night Flying by Rita Murphy
From the Publisher
Georgia Hansen can fly. All the Hansen women can, But flying is not a carefree pursuit. There's a strict code enforced by Georgia's domineering grandmother: no solo flight until a flier is initiated at sixteen; no meat in the diet; and above all, no flying in daylight. And there are unspoken rules that Georgia, her mother, and her aunts quietly live by, bullied by the cold, hard woman who controls the family fortune. All her life, Georgia has adhered to these rules. In a week she will turn sixteen, facing her family at her initiation ceremony and taking to the skies alone for the first time. But Georgia's anticipation is disrupted by the arrival of her rebellious aunt Carmen. Banished from the family years before, this unknown aunt reveals secrets that have never been spoken at the Hansen farm. In an instant, all that Georgia has believed is called into question, and in her confusion and anger, she commits an unforgivable offense. Before she can earn her place in the sky, Georgia must determine whether her passion for flight is stronger than her duty to rules for her before she was born. --Book Jacket.
