Amelia Earhart stands at the controls of her aircraft, ready to make history. In 1932, she pilots her plane alone across the Atlantic Ocean, becoming the first woman to complete this solo journey. Three years later, she conquers the Pacific as well, again the first of her gender to do so. But Earhart's greatest challenge awaits in 1937 when she attempts to circle the entire globe by air. The ambitious flight pushes her skills and her aircraft to their limits. Somewhere over the vast Pacific, her plane disappears without a trace. Jerome follows Earhart from her earliest days through her record-breaking flights to that final, fateful journey. The story captures a woman who refused to accept limitations, who pushed into skies where few dared to venture, and whose courage ultimately led her into one of aviation's greatest mysteries.
