Moving and tender . . . A perfect book for anyone who feels a little separate from the flock.--Rebecca Serle, New York Times bestselling author of One Italian Summer

ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: NPR

Smarting from her recently canceled wedding and about to turn forty, Laurie Sassalyn returns to her Maine hometown of Calcasset to handle the estate of her great-aunt Dot, a spirited adventurer who lived to be ninety-three. Alongside boxes of Polaroids and pottery, a mysterious wooden duck shows up at the bottom of a cedar chest. Laurie's curiosity is piqued, especially after she finds a love letter to the never-married Dot that ends with the line And anyway, if you're ever desperate, there are always ducks, darling.

Laurie is told that the duck has no financial value. But after it disappears under suspicious circumstances, she feels compelled to figure out why anyone would steal a wooden duck--and why Dot kept it hidden away in the first place. Suddenly Laurie finds herself swept up in a righteous caper that has her negotiating with antiques dealers and con artists, going on after-hours dates at the local library, and reconnecting with her oldest friend and her first love. Desperate to uncover her great-aunt's secrets, Laurie must reckon with her own past and her future--and ultimately embrace her own vision of flying solo.

With a cast of unforgettable characters and a heroine you will root for from page one, Flying Solo is a wonderfully original story about growing up, coming home, and learning to make a life for yourself on your own terms.

Linda Janet Holmes is a long-time women's health activist, writer, and independent researcher. Toni Cade Bambara's legacy is chronicled in the collection Savoring the Salt: Toni Cade Bambara's Legacy.
