Mary Myers always dreamed of flying, but she lived when women were often told to stay put and stay quiet. Determined and fearless, Mary wouldn’t stay tied down. With the help of her husband, she transformed into Carlotta, the famous aeronaut, and took to the skies. Carlotta performed much more than aerial feats in her gas balloons. A skybound scientist, she collected information on currents, weather, and atmospheric pressure.

Dr. Geoffrey Schmitt (known as God’s Peaceful Smithy) guides us through ten powerful portraits of leadership: Moses — Reluctance turned to obedience Joshua — Courage ...
