Flight of Dreams: A Novel
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Frozen River, this “enthralling nail-biter” (People) of a novel brings the fateful voyage of the Hindenburg to life.
“At every page a guilty secret bobs up; at every page Lawhon keeps us guessing. Who will bring down the Hindenburg? And how?”—New York Times Book Review
On the evening of May 3, 1937, ninety-seven people board the Hindenburg for its final, doomed flight. Among them are a frightened stewardess who is not what she seems; the steadfast navigator determined to win her heart; a naive cabin boy eager to earn a permanent position; an impetuous journalist who has been blacklisted in her native Germany; and an enigmatic American businessman with a score to settle.
Over the course of three champagne-soaked days, their lies, fears, agendas, and hopes for the future will be revealed—and one will set in motion a plot with devastating consequences for them all.

I know this book is a work of fiction but knowing it pulled bits and pieces from the real peoples lives who lived and died on the Hindenburg and then wove those into a plausible story... it was so fascinating!! I loved it. Ariel's writing really pulls you in and gets you involved in every characters involvement!
