FLIGHT LESSONS

If you like the idea of navigating through life without a sextant or compass, you'll enjoy Patricia Gaffney's story of a middle-aged woman's search in all the wrong places to unravel the mystery of her fear of settling down. The writing is thoughtful and thought-provoking, and Laura Hicks is flawless in her performance of the lost, stuck Anna; the misleadingly sugary-sweet Aunt Rose; Rose's feisty dying lover, Theo; and the equally lost, wounded hero-in-progress, Mason.
