This heart-warming novel based on true events reaches across generations and cultures, as Vivian must live on without her great love. J.B. DiNizo is a retired librarian who grew up in Vermont. "This is basically a story about my father's older brother who was a pilot in those early days of aviation. He married someone of whom the family disapproved, and no one kept in touch with her after my uncle's death in an air crash in Baxter Springs, Kansas. So this is my 'made-up' version of my uncle and aunt's story." Publisher's website: http://sbpra.com/JBDiNizo
