Under a Wing - Softcover
The "poignant and superbly written memoir" (Chicago Tribune) of growing up as the daughter of Charles and Anne Morrow Lindbergh. Famous family: Reeve Lindbergh was the youngest child in her family.

This is the story of what it was like to be a part of that extraordinary family. Beautiful, touching writing: Reviewers nationwide praised the quality of writing in Reeve Lindbergh's memoir when it was first published ten years ago.
