American Sky

I wasn't sure if a was a historical fiction person or not, but I love empowering female stories, especially ones that involved planes, and this did not disappoint. It was so cool to see three generations of awesome ladies, all living different lives and being their own persons, but still finding things in common with each other. It's a bit of a long read, but I actually feel like it kept up the pace well and I didn't really feel like any sections were particularly slow— you were kinda always wondering what was going to happen next, and it bounced around between stories enough that it's always engaging. It was really deep and sad in some parts, but honestly that gave me a lot of perspective that I think i needed to remember there are bigger problems out there than the ones I'm facing today, so while it was sad it also gave me some strength, courage, and gratitude. And just thankful for everything women before us have done to pave the way.
