A New England family beleaguered by a long-standing
tradition and a mysterious person come together as a
result of an encounter in an ancient graveyard. Although
it takes forty years, Rita Stevens learns the unique origins
of this puzzling individual, Rachel Sands. Of Course Angels Can
Fly is a family saga containing a slight paranormal twist. The title
reflects an unusual talent of the mysterious Rachel, and also
suggests that aviation plays a major role in this character-driven
novel. This family saga shows how a long-standing male-oriented
tradition can falter, and would appeal to anyone interested in
women’s issues, feminist concerns, and at the same time is
mainstream enough to interest a widespread readership.
