Dreaming of Flight

A Novel

De: Catherine Ryan Hyde

Narrado por: Janet Metzger, Michael Crouch

An unexpected connection becomes the saving grace for two unlikely friends in a heart-stirring novel about love, loss, and moving forward by a New York Times and #1 Amazon Charts bestselling author.

Never knowing his parents, eleven-year-old Stewie Little and his brother have been raised on a farm by their older sister. Stewie steadfastly tends the chickens left by his beloved late grandmother. And every day Stewie goes door to door selling fresh eggs from his wagon—a routine with a surprise just around the corner. It’s his new customer, Marilyn. She’s prickly and guarded, yet comfortably familiar—she reminds the grieving Stewie so much of the grandmother he misses more than he can express.

Marilyn has a reason for keeping her distance: a secret no one knows about. Her survival tactic is to draw a line between herself and other people—one that Stewie is determined to cross. As their visits become more frequent, a complicated but deeply rooted relationship grows. That’s when Stewie discovers how much more there is to Marilyn, to her past, and to challenges that become more pressing each day. But whatever difficult times lie ahead, Stewie learns that although he can’t fix everything for Marilyn or himself, at least he’s no longer alone.

An entertaining and heartwarming story

A very uplifting story of a little boy’s self-searching journey in a world where he had been dealt more than his share of heartache.

Sweet Story

I do love Catherine R. Hyde's books as they just hit the heart and are easy listening which you need from time to time.
This was one that hits your heart and you learn a lot from this young boys perspective . I really liked it.

Just a good book

My wife told me about the book and how I needed to read it and she was absolutely right. It was just a good book about life. I recommend it to all.

A sweet story

The story was a kind of, if somewhat predictable reminder that chosen family is just as important as any family through blood or marriage. And, of course, there were chickens 💕

Excellent story about love, loss and hope for a young boy.

The story was excellent. I originally thought the book seem too long but the author and performers kept you fully engaged and curious about the next chapter.

DREAMING OF FLIGHT

What a beautiful story. It inspired me to think of what wonderful blessing we have that we don't always realize and thus take advantage of. Highly recommend this book.

CRH is a masterful writer

Catherine Ryan Hyde’s characters and storylines may lean a hair toward being too good to be true but I’ve never been anything but feeling content at the conclusion of any of her books. She is a keen observer and chronicler of human interaction, using that as her means of introducing her readers to her characters. Their dialog and thoughts let you into their world without CRH having to tell you explicitly who they are. And even though many of her characters are children, tweens and teens, their stories will leave you feeling hopeful.
