In 1937 ? the summer that Amelia Earhart disappears ? 13-year-old LaMarrs flamboyant mother, Charmaine, flies off with a stunt pilot and doesnt return. Sent to live with an aunt and uncle, LaMarr awaits her mothers return while attempting to track down her long-lost father. A crusty old man, a former Teddy Roosevelt Rough Rider, befriends her. The old mans friendship and wisdom help LaMarr finally accept the probability that her mother is gone forever.
