description: We Lindberghs still know ourselves best as a close-knit self-enclosed and self-defining always prepared to be besieged by invisible forces upwelling from the past....The world knew Charles Lindbergh as a daring aviator Pulitzer Prize-winning author and controversial isolationist in World War II. His wife Anne Morrow Lindbergh was a bestselling author. To their five children they were Father never Daddy and Mother. Charles a stern yet loving father was surprisingly affectionate and playful; Anne provided a great gentling love. With remarkable candor their youngest daughter provides a rare intimate look at her legendary family...the pervasive impact of her brother's kidnapping and death...the complexity of her parents' long loving marriage...the night her life and her mother's converged as Reeve's own infant son died suddenly. With grace and insight Reeve Lindbergh appraises her remarkable parents her unusual childhood and the troubling questions that remain. At once an eloquent reminiscence and a slice of American history Under a Wing is at its core a heartfelt tribute to an extraordinary family.
