Like her classic coming-of-age best-seller, The Cheerleader Ruth Doan MacDougall's tenth novel features a '50s setting and an idealistic girl confronting reality. During the summer of 1952, thirteen-year-old Lydia Dearborn must navigate into the unknown toward the horizon of maturity. In doing so, she grows to understand her mother--and, through her mother, herself.
A WOMAN WHO LOVED LINDBERGH is a multilayered tale of families, a family album that includes the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, early 1900s Montana, and mid-twentieth-century New England. Examining the complexities that bind families and celebrating the courage of individuals, it is profound, moving, and funny.
