Back story:
In 1927, Charles A. Lindbergh received fame and fortune for his solo flight across the Atlantic. In 1932, his young son, Charles, Jr. was stolen from his crib. Though Lindbergh paid a handsome ransom, his son was never returned.
~:~
Rose Mary became the playmate of Roger, a little boy nearby. After kidnapping attempts, they decided that they must be the real Lindbergh Babies - kidnapped children of the famous aviator, Charles Lindbergh. Mary was African-American. Roger was not.
As the kids considered this possibility, they met Lindbergh at a political rally and saw how impossible their dream really was.
Subplots intertwine with the kidnapping theme. Could Mary ever begin school to get that education which would help her and her family improve their lifestyles? Could she forget her obsession with getting an education and marry her brother's strong, handsome friend? Could she win a college scholarship?
A wealth of dialogue allows glimpses into the social history and the true natures of the characters. Images emerge of homes, schools, streets, and cotton fields of the South.
