Very Good Condition SOFTCOVER Book, with minor wear, clean inside, tight spine. HEART LIKE A WING, is an edgy coming-of-age story that brings Canadian history and northern culture vividly to life, as Briony fights to discover her identity and claim her place in the world. Briony, a prairie girl with a disfigured face, is adopted when she is nine by a childless older couple, Dagget and Moll, who appear mysteriously at her orphanage one day. They take her to their remote town of Crowsbeak in northern Saskatchewan, where Briony struggles to fit in. Tormented by her schoolmates for her scarred face and dark skin, and haunted by nightmares, she takes refuge in Dagget's world as a bush pilot in the vast spruce forests, lakes and Native villages of the North. As she flies with her adoptive father in his vintage floatplane, a Norseman, she develops a passionate desire to become a bush pilot too. The final chapters describe a perilous flight through the Arctic and across the north Atlantic to the Hebrides in the iconic Norseman. 1st Edition & Signed by Author ISBN: 9781553804765 GC&C Stock #2114
