Katharine, the Wright Sister (2024)
A novel by Tracey Enerson Wood

A "stirring tribute to an unsung trailblazer" and "a gripping tale of perseverance." ¡ªPublishers Weekly

She helped her brothers soar¡­ but was the flight worth the fall?

It all started with two boys and a bicycle shop. Wilbur and Orville Wright, both unsuited to college and disinclined to leave home, jumped on the popular new fad of bicycle riding and opened a shop in Dayton, Ohio. Repairing and selling soon led to tinkering and building as the brothers offered improved models to their eager customers. Amid their success, a new dream began to take shape. Engineers across the world were puzzling over how to build a powered flying machine¡ªand Wilbur and Orville wanted in on the challenge. But their younger sister, Katharine, knew they couldn't do it without her. The three siblings made a pact: the three of them would solve the problem of human flight.

As her brothers obsessed over blueprints and risked life and limb testing new models on the sand beaches of North Carolina, Katharine became the mastermind behind the scenes of their inventions. She sourced materials, managed communications, and kept Wilbur and Orville focused on their goal¡ªeven when it seemed hopeless. And in 1903, the Wright brothers made the first controlled, sustained flight of humankind.
