And her bombshell includes a strange caveat. He isn't allowed to breathe a word of it to their traveling companions.

When Gould wangles (under dubious circumstances) a fellowship to research the death of William Guilfoil, a young WWII fighter pilot who crashed and died in the hills near Serra, he instead sets his sights on clarity and closure in his ex-wife's ancestral home. As he grinds through an uncharted future, his story and Guilfoil's become intertwined, and Gould gathers the fragments of a fractured heart. With a brutal honesty tempered with surprising humor, he tells us how he begins to stitch them back together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThings That Crash, Things That Fly\u003c\/em\u003e is about many things: lost love, daughters and fathers, evaporating marriage, Italian sandals, friendship, bad knees, acrobatic birds, secrecy, oddly placed piercings...but most of all, Gould's inventive memoir is about how it's truly possible to rise and soar, even after you've struck the ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 276\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.69 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 09, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46560842121401,"sku":"9781925965469","price":35.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/4309\/4713\/files\/RHpISzEydllDMzFrTFRDS0pldVJJZz09.webp?v=1772657395","url":"https:\/\/thoobo.com\/products\/things-that-crash-things-that-fly-paperback","provider":"Thoobo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
