Synopsis

Katherine, the Sky Queen, relishes her fabulous highflying days as a stewardess during the emergence of the women’s movement. Still, her Chippewa tribe ancestry beckons to her—and when she finally responds to the lure of her bloodline’s call, her life path transforms in miraculous ways.  
"A former United Airlines stewardess, Kundert paints a vivid portrait of Katherine's flight attendant world, from the weigh-ins and strict dress code to the leering male passengers . . . A thoughtful and sensitively observed tale with a heroine whose adventures are worth following." --Kirkus Reviews

Goodreads review by Rebecca on October 29, 2020

This is a neat clean romance set in 1967 Chicago. Its an introductory book that is set to have several follow on books with the same strong female lead character. The author granted me a brief interview which can be found on the Pines and Plains libraries you tube channel.......more
