James O. Miller - Historic Novel

https://theoviebooks.wordpress.com/ The fields outside Dayton, Ohio, were wild and endless. On summer days, they stretched golden under the sun, rippling like the sea as the wind swept through. Evelyn Taylor knew every corner of those fields; she had explored them with bare feet and scraped knees, chasing after wildflowers or trying to catch the ever-elusive butterflies. But her favourite memories were of playing there with Orville and Wilbur Wright, the two boys who lived just down the lane. The three of them spent every possible hour outside, imagining worlds far beyond Dayton. Orville and Wilbur, in particular, were different from any boys Evelyn had ever known. They were quiet, both of them, prone to long silences and sudden bursts of laughter. Their eyes, always intense, glinted with ideas that even Evelyn didn’t understand. Sometimes, the brothers would be talking to each other so fast and so excitedly that Evelyn would feel like she was watching a secret language unfold. But no matter how deeply they were buried in their thoughts, they always made room for her. A historical novel. James O. Miller.
