Griselda Takes Flight

Now that her sister, Agnes Sparrow, is comfortably dieting at the Greenbrier Nursing Home, Griselda has time to fly – literally. A handsome pilot named Cliff Cardwell makes an emergency landing and creates quite a ruckus, especially when Griselda takes him up on his offer of flying lessons.

On other fronts, Stella Hughes Kincaid receives word that her brother, Walter, a recent lottery winner, is in a coma. On her first hospital visit she meets Gilda Saucer, a woman claiming to be Walter’s fiancee. Stella intuitively smells a rat but is at a loss until Chief of Police, Mildred Blessing, does some crafty investigating. When everyone finds out that Stella is actually married to Cliff Cardwell, Griselda’s flight instructor, hilarious shenanigans ensue!

However, all is not lost because, as Joyce Magnin so delightfully revealed in her two previous volumes, miracles still happen occasionally in the whimsical, quirky little hamlet called Bright’s Pond.
