“Katharine, the Wright Sister” is a novel by Tracey Enerson Wood. Engineers across the world were puzzling over how to build a powered flying machine and Wilbur and Orville Wright wanted in on the challenge. Katharine, their younger sister knew they couldn’t do it without her. The three siblings made a pact: together they would solve the problem of human flight. They succeeded, but at the height of their success, tragedy wrenched the Wright family apart – and forced Katharine to make an impossible choice that would haunt her for the rest of her life. This book is also available digitally in Hoopla.
