I knew little about the Lindberghs apart from the basic facts about them. He flew solo across the Atlantic, their first child was kidnapped and found dead, and that they flew around the world charting new air routes. I first read a biography of Anne only because I was curious about her.

With the help of her two best friends Sid and Gus Molly some how survives the many ordeals thrown her way, and their friendships remain… Read more
