Description

"Everyone knows of Orville and Wilbur, the famous Wright brothers who invented and piloted the first powered airplane. But how many have heard of their sister Katharine, a vital member of the team? It was Katharine kept the family businesses afloat, Katharine who secured financial backers for the project, Katharine who marketed their invention worldwide. While the brothers were brilliant inventors and builders, Katharine was the glue that held their family and their business together. As important as she was to the Wright family, she has often been forgotten in the history books. No longer. THE WRIGHT SISTER will immerse you in the drama and excitement of Wilbur and Orville's first flights while simultaneously illuminating Katharine's work behind the scenes, recounting the deep sibling bond that tied the three together until tragedy ultimately wrenched their family apart"--
