Alone with the Stars (by David R. Gillham)
Unsolved mysteries are always intriguing for me. I can get caught up in wanting to know what really happened while settling on an outcome that seems reasonable and logical based on the facts available. The tragic disappearance of Amelia Earhart is one of those captivating mysteries. When the short story, Alone with the Stars by David R. Gillham, came across my path, I promptly added it to my Audible library.
Alone with the Stars is a story about Amelia Earhart’s disappearance in 1937. Portions of the story are told from A.E.’s perspective while flying. Lizzie is a 15-year-old, living with her dad in Florida. She’s fascinated by her dad’s radio and spends one hour every afternoon listening to radio transmissions. One day, she hears A.E.’s distress call. Excited to learn that A.E. is alive and asking for help, when everyone else fears A.E. is lost at sea. Lizzie records the transmissions she hears and shares them with her father. Together, they set off to the Coast Guard office to pass along her information in the hopes that Lizzie will be believed and possibly A.E. will be rescued.
As an Audible Original, the audiobook is very well produced and is a great listening experience. Narration was well done by Hillary Huber and Emily Bauer. This is a wonderful historical fiction about Amelia Earhart and a young girl inspired by the brave heroine. This is an Audible Original that is available “Only From Audible.”
