Imagine a forty-year-old Amelia Earhart in New York City in 1980.
Amelia Earhart is lost on an island in the Pacific in 1937, yet finds herself resurrected in her sister Muriel's study just outside of Boston in 1980. Seventy-nine-year-old Muriel is reeling from the double loss of a son and a husband as she copes with growing old alone. Seventeen-year old Sam Barry, winner of the Amelia Earhart Scholarship, is just beginning her life as a coed, trying her best to separate from her needy mother and her dysfunctional family.
Their lives intersect in surprising ways, as long buried secrets come to light, revealing the special, powerful intimacy women share, whether they are siblings, best friends, or mothers and daughters.
Surviving Amelia is a magic realist novel set in a brave new world where fame is fleeting, and flight, mundane, but one thing is unchanged. It's love. Love, in all its complexities, endures.
