Bette: The True Story of My Life in the Sky - Hardcover

Evans, Richard Morris: - Richard Morris Evans, author of Bette, shares a deeply personal connection to the book's subject, having known Bette for over 20 years. Richard and his wife, Suellen, who has been a friend and fellow flight attendant to Bette for over 50 years, live a mere ten minutes away in Manassas, Virginia. Bette, along with her Down Syndrome son, Christian, became like family to them. Richard was deeply moved by Bette's unique journey of raising her son alone for 49 years and enduring an abusive and violent marriage for over 31 years. As a close confidant, Richard believed Bette's story of resilience and courage deserved to be told.
