Colleen Mondor

Selected by Booklist as an Editors’ Choice “best” book of 2012. Nancy Pearl, frequently featured on NPR’s Morning Edition, said, “This isn't a neatly narrated, chronological account with a clean beginning and a clear end. Rather, in lyrical, impressionistic prose she relates the stories she tells of the pilots she knew—some still living and some now dead—to the myth and the reality of Alaska. . . . It’s about myth-making, storytelling and memory.”
