From small-town Louisiana, around the world, and back to Athens, Georgia, journey with Olive Hammons Weathersby and her beloved husband, A.B., a professor of entomology at the University of Georgia for over 20 years. The first civilian woman to parachute from a crashing military plane, Olive would go on to face many additional challenges, and like many members of the Greatest Generation, she would do so with grace and gratitude.

5.0 out of 5 stars An intimate insight into the Greatest Generation
Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2017
Verified Purchase
Sinyard carefully and lyrically records the life of a remarkable woman -- while also capturing the time of the "Greatest Generation." Small details highlight the vast cultural societal changes that have taken place over the past 75 years, such as a line in a letter to Olive from her sweetheart who's off to the war and longing to go out again for a Coke date. The story is filled with travel, adventure, parenting tales and occasional deep sadness. But the innate goodness of her characters is clearly what Sinyard wants to preserve. She succeeds. For readers who love biography and memoir, for those interested in the World War II generation, and for those who enjoy following women of different eras (Olive and her biographer are two generations apart) who share a deep Christian faith, this is a book you won't want to miss.

I loved this book and am so glad I stumbled upon it. My father was the pilot of the plane that crashed. He was always my hero...but he was also a hero for others, too! I an lucky to have been his daughter. It Is another book that underscores the true greatness of the Greatest Generation l

I read a VERY early advance copy and loved the story. It is beautifully written. I wished I had met Olive as she lived an amazing life.
