Historical fiction fans love to get lost in another time and place.That’s why New York Times Bestselling Author Caroline Leavitt praised CONDITIONS ARE FAVORABLE:“What makes a life take flight? As the Wright brothers perfect their flying machine at Kitty Hawk, a remarkable young woman struggles to escape her hardscrabble life even as she yearns for Orville himself. Gorgeously written, with the time, the place and the people evoked so dazzlingly, you can hear the wings of the Wrights’ flying machine, wafting in the air.”Reviewer, Author and Blogger Tara Chevrestt said:“I don’t think I’ll be able to get lost in another time and place and story. This one is the type of tale that after you read the last page, you must savor it for a while.”Fear of flying, no…afraid of women, yes.Fall into the year 1900 at Kitty Hawk, NC, when life consists of shipwrecks, shoot-outs…and flying machines. When Orville and Wilbur Wright arrive to conduct flight experiments, their posh dignity stands in stark contrast to a community of rough old salts who believe in a “good God, a bad devil, a hot hell, and more than anything else, that the same good God did not intend for man to ever fly.”The Wright brothers may be able to defy divine edicts, theorize about relative velocities and engineer the world’s first flying machine. But when it comes to women, they are terribly love-shy.That doesn't deter Kitty Hawker Madeleine Tate. When she meets these two odd bicycle mechanics from Ohio, she is immediately struck by the brothers’ intellect, dandy appearance—and their grip on bachelorhood. Their shyness and fixation on flight puzzles her, too, but she finds her growing fondness for Orville hard to resist. He represents a splendid taste of the Outside World, the place where she can escape the poverty and fear that define life on a stormy sandbar.And Orville is flattered by her affections, but he has long-accepted the fact that he and Wilbur are social misfits who let one bad experience with courtship harden their hearts forever. But Madeleine is determined to break through his shell to find out who he really is--a brilliant inventor? A lunatic risking his life for the sake of something the world deems impossible? Or is he someone just like her, with real hurts, dreams and desires?CONDITIONS ARE FAVORABLE is the story of two individuals who both, in their own unique ways, learn to spread their wings and fly.Add to Cart and start reading today.
