A decision made in the name of love reverberates decades later. That is the theme of The Secrets of Flight by Maggie Leffler. Told in alternating voices, the book weaves past and present into a story of how Mary Browning was once Miriam Lichtenstein. With a tenuous connection between past and present and a melodramatic ending, the book does not quite ring true, but it is still a quick and entertaining read.
