This book.... WOW!!! I had no idea about Bessie Coleman! She was a real pilot! The first woman... First person of color to hold a international pilots licence. That's a huge accomplishment.
The story covers Bessies life from a young woman, to making the decision to become a pilot and saving her money to go to France and become what she was destined to do..
The book moved me in ways I haven't been moved in a long time. It was full of raw emotion and a captivating story of a woman who knew what she wanted and she took it by the horns.
I did not like the narrator. I wish they had used someone else.
The story was amazing, the characters really felt real and vibrant.
Highly recommend
