Publisher Description
Jane McGraw is a young Athabaskan, native girl from the tiny town of Chicken Alaska. With the help of a student loan, she attended college at Missoula, Montana where she studied Botany because she loved the outdoors and the plant life that made it beautiful. But, she met Grady McGraw and fell madly in love with him and with flying, she could no longer remember why she chose Botany. Jane quit school, used her student loan to get her commercial pilot's license. Oh, did I say that the another reason she quit school; she was pregnant.
They married and she changed her last name from Walkingtall, which was a common native, Athabaskan, Indian name to McGraw. After Grady graduated, worked a while as an Engineer and then lost his job, they moved to Alaska and Jane became a successful, "bush pilot," but with success comes danger and she found a lot of that. What happens when she has to land in a snot storm? What happens when she lands on a sand bar or when her engine quits? Can she handle the rigors of winter flying in Alaska?
