AS HEARD ON RADIO 4 'Utterly wonderful' NINA STIBBE, author of Love, Nina Twenty hours have gone since I last wrote. I have been thinking of you. I shall think of you until I post this, and until you get it.

In September 1943, Chris Barker was serving as a signalman in North Africa when he decided to brighten the long days of war by writing to old friends. One of these was Bessie Moore, a former work colleague. The unexpected warmth of Bessie's reply changed their lives forever. Crossing continents and years, their funny, affectionate and intensely personal letters are a remarkable portrait of a love played out against the backdrop of the Second World War. Above all, their story is a stirring example of the power of letters to transform ordinary lives.

Fighting for Space
Author: Amy Shira Teitel
Publisher: Grand Central Publishing
ISBN: 1538716038
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 427
Book Description
Spaceflight historian Amy Shira Teitel tells the riveting story of the female pilots who each dreamed of being the first American woman in space. When the space age dawned in the late 1950s, Jackie Cochran held more propeller and jet flying records than any pilot of the twentieth century—man or woman. She had led the Women's Auxiliary Service Pilots during the Second World War, was the first woman to break the sound barrier, ran her own luxury cosmetics company, and counted multiple presidents among her personal friends. She was more qualified than any woman in the world to make the leap from atmosphere to orbit. Yet it was Jerrie Cobb, twenty-five years Jackie's junior and a record-holding pilot in her own right, who finagled her way into taking the same medical tests as the Mercury astronauts. The prospect of flying in space quickly became her obsession. While the American and international media spun the shocking story of a "woman astronaut" program, Jackie and Jerrie struggled to gain control of the narrative, each hoping to turn the rumored program into their own ideal reality—an issue that ultimately went all the way to Congress. This dual biography of audacious trailblazers Jackie Cochran and Jerrie Cobb presents these fascinating and fearless women in all their glory and grit, using their stories as guides through the shifting social, political, and technical landscape of the time.

Rain Revolutions
Author: Bessie F. Zaldívar
Publisher: Long Day Press
ISBN: 9781950987177
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 94
Book Description
In the midst of a water shortage, a mango vendor weighs her sexual desire for a taxi driver against wanting to bathe first. Protesting an illegal extradition, two like-minded student activists march on Honduras's U.S. embassy but find themselves drifting apart in more complicated ways. And as flooding and hunger threaten the safety of his family, a father continues to strike against the United Fruit Company. Set against political and environmental turmoil in Honduras over the scope of more than half a century, the stories in Rain Revolutions mark the beginnings of a promising young Honduran writer. "Rain Revolutions is a minor miracle. In three important stories, Bessie Flores Zaldívar connects the dots between individual characters and the failures of the systems that define the parameters of their agency. National infrastructure, poverty, imperialism-these massive forces constrain the characters' lives, but not their hearts. Watch out for Zaldívar; I can't wait to see what she does next." - Matthew Salesses, author of Craft in the Real World "Rain Revolutions is a book about soft drizzles that turn to downpours. This is a literal and figurative lluvia that converts puddles to torrents washing over busied Tegucigalpa streets, over political murals calling for freedom and peace, and accumulate into apocalyptic floodwaters that deliver life and death to our posterity. After the stories' aguaceros, the ground hardens with truth and life, hope for better futures." - Ayendy Bonifacio from the foreword

Pages : 84
Book Description
When she was growing up in Waxahachie, Texas, in the early 1900s, young Bessie Coleman had to do without a lot of things. Because she was black, she went to inferior schools. Because her mother worked to support the family, Bessie often had to stay at home to watch her younger sisters. But Bessie Coleman always knew she would make something of her life. In 1920 she became the first African-American woman to fly an airplane. Struggling against prejudice and lack of funds, Coleman built a career as a barn-storming pilot in the 1920s. Although she did not live to realize her dream of opening a school for black aviators, she was--by her example--a source of inspiration to generations of flyers, dreamers, and achievers to come.
