About this book
In 1955, thousands of American women, wives and mothers among them, change into dragons in a single day and fly away. Alex Green is a little girl when her aunt Marla goes with them, and everyone around her pretends that it never happened.
As she grows up, Alex has to find her own answers in a country that is not willing to talk about it. Kelly Barnhill's first adult novel is a feminist fable about the limits placed on women and what happens when they refuse them.
