Another great read from Carla!
Ever since reading "Stardust," I have been a fan of Carla Stewart. Her way of writing about transitions in a woman's life is endearing and encouraging. And I love how we share a kindred spirit for the decades and generations that have come before us. I am truly transported while reading Carla's books, and "A Flying Affair" is no exception. Mittie is a spit-fire! I thoroughly enjoyed being able to preview this book. Carla's descriptive writing took me straight into the world of daring women in the 1920s. I am looking forward to reading more about Mittie's quest for freedom and adventure.
