For pilot Ruth Nichols, a soaring rivalry with Amelia Earhart becomes a deep friendship in a short story of the danger and secrets of undaunted women, inspired by true events, by New York Times bestselling author Marie Benedict.

It’s Ruth’s dream to be the world’s greatest female pilot. It’s Amelia—Lady Lindy herself—who achieves it. At first competitors, Ruth soon recognizes they share a passion for the skies and for supporting trailblazing female pilots everywhere. Together they form an all-women flying group, the Ninety-Nines, and over the years their achievements become more groundbreaking, their risks more personal, and their friendship closer than ever, until the day their best-laid plans come crashing down.

Marie Benedict’s Amelia’s Shadow is part of Blaze, a collection of short stories about incendiary women across the decades who dare to defy convention. They can be read or listened to in one sitting.

What a lovely short about the early days of women in flight. Does a wonderful job of personalizing and humanizing what can offer be presented as dry or statistic-laden. It accomplishes the very thing these pilots of the day had to fight for: to be seen as people, fully capable and experts in their own right. A brief, kind, informative walk through a vital part of history.

A kind and personal short

A fun listen… I wanted more! I wish Benedict had written a full length book about Amelia!

Well read

Well read, and I’m a huge fan of the author but I found myself disappointed in the story. To take such a huge leap in the personal lives of two real people is rather insulting to their memories and their families.

Somewhat disappointed

Had never heard anything like what is suggested in this short story. Makes me want to find out more about Amelia.

A sweet short-story by one of my favorite authors about a "what if" storyline to the life of Amelia Earhart. Nicely read by the narrator.

Not my favorite, but not bad for a story. I learned a bit about this historical character, but not enough to make me want to learn more. Just ok.

Ok. Not my favorite

Reality vs Imagined

I loved this book. It's even more poignant knowing how Ms Nichols story tragically ended. I loved how it explored the friendship and sometime rivalry between Amelia and Ruth. Especially
the twist that Amelia and Ruth may have planned her disappearance in order to escape A else's marriage to her disreputable husband. I only wish it was longer.

Love the plausibility and the possibility! It could have happened. Right?
I love to think so.

A sweet (re?) telling…..

This audiobook definitely kept me intrigued all the way till the following Ruth who at once hated Amelia for doing something she wanted to be the first to do then end up following in love after being saved by her.

Good Read

I loved the story from another side of Amelia Earhart’s disappearance. It is so awesome to imagine the what ifs and stories around a historical event.

Love it!
