Renowned author Melanie Benjamin sheds light on the marriage of Charles and Anne Lindbergh Lindbergh, two of America's most remarkable couples, in the vein of Loving Frank and The Paris Wife.
Following her successful solo transatlantic flight in 1927, shy college student Anne Morrow discovers Colonel Charles Lindbergh in Mexico City, where she is spending Christmas with her family. Anne is certain that the aviator hasn't given her much attention because of Charles's confidence and celebrity. But she's not correct. Anne's life will never be the same when Charles discovers in her a fellow explorer and kindred soul. The two wed in a lavish ceremony that made headlines. In the next years, Anne obtains her licence and becomes the first female glider pilot in the US. She is only recognised as the aviator's wife, however, in spite of these and other significant accomplishments. Heartbreak and difficulties will befall her in her quest for the fairy-tale existence she once imagined, forcing her to finally accept life's boundless opportunities for happiness and change while balancing her need for love and her need for independence.
