From the Author:
In 2004, I lived in Portland, OR, where a Vietnam vet was found living in the forest and raising his young daughter. When police went in, what transpired was not what you might expect, and I've wanted to write a fictional story inspired by these events ever since. When She Flew is that novel, and has at its heart 13-year-Lindy, a feral but articulate and intelligent girl, and police officer Jessica Villareal, the cop who goes in after her and comes out changed forever.
About the Author:
Jennie Shortridge lives in Seattle, WA with her husband, and juggles her time between writing novels and working in the community to foster literacy.
