When She Flew


When She Flew When She Flew, Jennie's fourth novel, is the fictionalization of true events, and after much research, she let her imagination run wild to create this evocative story of an Iraq war vet raising his daughter in the wild and the single mom/policewoman who breaks all the rules when ordered to separate them, risking everything to help them escape. This story explores the issues of raising children in today's world, living within the system as opposed to rejecting it, the toll of war on families, and introduces a young heroine raised in the forest who thrives through the worst of circumstances.

"...A taut, beautifully rendered novel... all the urgency of a thriller and... a moving exploration of parental love and the lengths to which one person will go to take care of another."
—Marisa de los Santos, New York Times bestselling author of Love Walked In and Belong to Me
