Star Flight

I enjoyed this audio book very much. I grew up in North Carolina and now live in South Carolina about an hour and a half away from Lake Lure, the setting for the book. We visit there at least once a year. It really is a beautiful area, especially in the spring and fall. I could visualize all the places the author wrote about, and that made it more personal for me.

A delicate intersection of past sins and present lives.

Escapism: why the author writes and why the audience reads -- why I praise Star Flight. Once again Whitney engaged me with her lush, detailed setting, and that ever present ability to allow the reader that leap from simply reading to becoming a part. Characterization that is multi-dimensional, and always keeps me guessing until the very end! I close the book and immediately want to journey to that place, to experience the charm and beauty she so richly portrays
