SynopsisSet in a small Arkansas town in the 1980s, The Secret to Flying is the story of Donita Tosh. For Donita, growing up without her father is bad enough, but having a mother with a scandalous reputation makes her life practically unbearable. Donita's mother has always told her the secret to overcoming obstacles is to release everything that weighs her down. Yet her mother's association with a succession of unscrupulous men is a weight Donita can't quite shake. Unaware of what actually happened between her mother and father, Donita begins to believe the malicious gossip that circulates about her mother. Once Donita learns the truth about her father, she is stunned by her mother's resilience in the face of crushing adversity. The Secret to Flying is at once a heartbreaking and an uplifting exploration of the intricacies of the mother-daughter bond.
