Two teenage brothers. One girl. Only one of the boys knows the burden she carries.
“Flying Lessons” is a coming of age short story of two Midwestern boys growing up in the early Eighties, untouched by conflicts raging in another part of the world until an enigmatic girl named Lisa walks into their lives.
An earlier version of this story was a finalist in Glimmer Train’s Short Story Award for New Writers, Spring 2000, and was first published in Hamilton Stone Review in 2007.
