Ice formed on the Vega's wings and caused an unstoppable 3,000-foot descent to just above the waves. Amelia was by then of course showing her disdain of the typical young woman's preoccupation with finding a man to marry, and settle down.

Meet three inspirational women from the world of music: Ella Fitzgerald, Dolly Parton, and Josephine Baker! The book did drag - in that you know what the ending is going to be and it's not particularly happy, but it does give you a great education and look into her life.We follow her exploits as she drove herself on through challenge after challenge, sometimes quite recklessly. Now, with East to the Dawn , Susan Butler offers the most comprehensive account to date of Earhart's extraordinary life—and finally sets the record straight. Yet to view her honestly one has to acknowledge how her determination must have hurt others close to her. But what we love is its collection of richly illustrated books to inspire kids (and grown-ups who like to dream).
