An Evening with Tracey Enerson Wood
From national and international bestselling author Tracey Enerson Wood comes Katharine, The Wright Sister, a vibrant historical novel about the unsung hero behind the groundbreaking aeronautical achievement of Wilbur and Orville Wright: their sister. Wilbur and Orville Wright risked life and limb in their pursuit of human flight, but their sister Katherine was the behind-the-scenes mastermind of their inventions. She sourced materials, managed communications, and kept Wilbur and Orville focused on their goal—even when it seemed hopeless—all at the expense of her own unique dreams and plans. But the Wright brothers’ success in 1903 wasn’t the end of her sacrifice. At the height of Wilbur and Orville’s fame, tragedy rips them apart time and again, forcing Katherine to make choices that will haunt her for the rest of her life.
Perfect for fans of Marie Benedict and Fiona Davis, KATHARINE, THE WRIGHT SISTER is an intricate and refreshingly emotional historical novel that reveals the story of one of the most consequential women to ever live and the incredible, courageous choices she made so that others might fly.
