37 - 9. The Light of Fact: A Mystery Solved? Daughter of the Sky: The Story of Amelia Earhart by Paul L. Briand, Jr.
This is an engaging biography of the renowned aviator. In his introduction, Briand says, " Amelia Earhart was one of America’s great heroines; her life was in many ways unique. She was one of a kind, and the fabric of her life was woven of strands that are rarely produced: she had an insatiable curiosity about everything in life—ideas, books, people, places, mechanical things; she loved all kinds of sports and games, especially those “only for boys”; she fidgeted with an implacable unrest to experiment, to try new things; she teemed with a zest for living, paradoxically entwined with a gnawing and pervasive longing to be alone; and, finally, she brooded with a fatalism toward death, which she met with a tremendous will to live."
