The only thing that's unique about our family is that we haven't forgotten. We still believe. As far as I know, we are the only family of fliers in Hawthorne. There are perhaps hundreds, thousands of women in the world who fly, but it s hard to know who they are. You can never tell just by looking at someone.
Most fliers lead rather ordinary lives.
Aunt Eva believes any woman can fly regardless of body shape or weight. It is only those who believe they can, who feel it with no doubt, who succeed. You can never let doubt creep in. Not even into the smallest corner of your mind, or you'll fall right out of the sky. Like all the women in my family, I have been flying since the day I was born.
