Story Behind The Book

Sometimes, the choices we make in our lives have devastating consequences. Nora finds this out as she tests the boundaries of 1960s New Orleans. Women's lib was not yet in full force. When she decides to learn how to fly a plane, it doesn't sit well with the expectations of her powerful, well to do husband. I met the woman on whom this book is based in 1980. Her story was riveting, begging to be told. Sassy, sexy, Nora takes us on a romp through Mardi Gras, the French Quarter, and 1960s high society. A glass houses frailties are exposed as she confronts domestic violence, Catholic tradition and adoption all in the name of love. Enjoy traveling with her in the cockpit as she overcomes it all!
