The Aviator's Wife by Melanie Benjamin

Loved the history and author's take on the life with Charles Lindbergh; from what Mom said- the final details on his liaisons with other women became a well known fact. Such a poor ending to a fairytale story of one of America's greats; however so familiar with other popular and favored men and women in powerful and revered positions. Self/Flesh/Desire/Pride -all intercede and poor choices are made that wound others and mar the amazing accomplishments that have been made. I wish the author had gotten to the "new" Anne a little earlier, instead of so much effort on the Anne that Charles made. So sad to read how the children were affected, always seeking his love; but never able to be themselves in their home when he was there. The chapters on the kidnapping were heart-wrenching; and the way the paparazzi messed up their lives was so sad. Good read.
