Read by Cassandra Campbell.

In 1947, photographer and war correspondent Janey Everett arrives at a remote surfing village on the Hawaiian island of Kauai to research a planned biography of forgotten aviation pioneer Sam Mallory, who joined the loyalist forces in the Spanish Civil War and never returned. Obsessed with Sam's fate, Janey has tracked down Irene Lindquist, the owner of a local island-hopping airline, whom she believes might be the legendary Irene Foster, Sam's one-time student, and flying partner. Irene's disappearance during a round-the-world flight in 1937 remains one of the world's greatest mysteries. At first, the flinty Mrs. Lindquist denies any connection to Irene Foster. But Janey informs her that the wreck of Sam Mallory's airplane has recently been discovered in a Spanish desert, and piece by piece, the details of Irene's extraordinary life emerge: from the beginnings of her flying career in Southern California, to her complicated, passionate relationship with Sam, to the collapse of her marriage to her aggressive career manager, the publishing scion George Morrow.
