In the early days of aviation, Beatty and Moss hang out around the airport Beatty's uncle manages. Beatty's hoping to see her father when he flies in--and quickly out again--on a mail flight. And Moss... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Highly evocative of time and place, AIRFIELD tells the story of Texas teenager Beatty who travels from aunt to aunt, three rotations per year in the 1930's.

It is Beatty's friendship with the migrant Moss, though, that brings Beatty's personality and longing for roots home to the reader. We love her spunkiness, her strong will, her generous heart. Beatty won't soon be forgotten.
