Synopsis

Finding Wright traces parallel narrative threads that begin with the discovery of the exceptional Katharine Wright, younger sister of men-of-flight Orville and Wilbur Wright, by 21st century Charlotte (Charlie) Tyler, a young, recently widowed, aerospace engineer and academic. As Charlie learns more about the extraordinary events of Katharine’s life, she finds a path toward understanding, connection, and healing.
