Wrights' FLIGHT FOUR is a sweeping, emotionally resonant work of historical fiction that captures the extraordinary and deeply human journey of Orville and Wilbur Wright-not just as inventors, but as sons, brothers, and reluctant visionaries who dared to change the world. From the windswept dunes of Kitty Hawk to the combative courtrooms and political backrooms that followed, the novel traces the birth of flight alongside the slow unraveling of family bonds, health, and legacy.

Wrights' FLIGHT FOUR is a sweeping, emotionally resonant work of historical fiction that captures the extraordinary and deeply human journey of Orville and Wilbur Wright-not just as inventors, but as sons, brothers, and reluctant visionaries who dared to change the world. From the windswept dunes of Kitty Hawk to the combative courtrooms and political backrooms that followed, the novel traces the birth of flight alongside the slow unraveling of family bonds, health, and legacy. This isn't just the story of how man took to the sky-it's about the cost of genius, the strain of obsession, and the quiet grief of outliving your greatest creation. Told with lyrical prose and meticulous historical detail, Wrights' FLIGHT FOUR immerses readers in the sights, sounds, and heartbreak of early twentieth-century America: the rattle of bicycle chains in Dayton, the salt-rough air of North Carolina, the stunned silence of the first audience to witness human flight. With shifting points of view and an unflinching emotional core, it explores betrayal, ambition, and the bittersweet ache of legacy. While Wilbur pushes toward perfection with ruthless focus, Orville is left to carry the memory-and the myth-of what they achieved. At their side stands Katharine Wright, the fiercely intelligent sister who kept them grounded even as the world tried to pull them apart. For fans of The Aviator's Wife, The Invention of Wings, and Beneath a Scarlet Sky, this is historical fiction at its most intimate and alive. Wrights' FLIGHT FOUR is a story of triumph and turbulence, of loss and lift, and of the fragile, beautiful human beings behind one of history's greatest leaps. This is not just how we learned to fly-it's what it took to stay airborne.
