Books & Bites: Tracey Enerson Wood with Katharine, the Wright Sister
From national and international bestselling author Tracey Enerson
Wood comes KATHARINE, THE WRIGHT SISTER, a vibrant
historical novel about the unsung hero behind the groundbreaking
aeronautical achievement of Wilbur and Orville Wright: their sister.
Wilbur and Orville Wright risked life and limb in their pursuit of human
flight, but their sister Katherine was the behind-the-scenes
mastermind of their inventions. She sourced materials, managed
communications, and kept Wilbur and Orville focused on their
goal—even when it seemed hopeless—all at the expense of her own
unique dreams and plans. But the Wright brothers’ success in 1903
wasn’t the end of her sacrifice. At the height of Wilbur and Orville’s
fame, tragedy rips them apart time and again,
forcing Katherine to make choices that will haunt her for the rest of her
life.
Perfect for fans of Marie Benedict and Fiona Davis, KATHARINE, THE
WRIGHT SISTER is an intricate and refreshingly emotional historical
novel that reveals the story of one of the most consequential women to
ever live and the incredible, courageous choices she made so that
others might fly.
TRACEY ENERSON WOOD is a retired registered nurse and
