Winner of the 2009 ACHE James A. Hamilton Book of the Year Award! "This book is a tour de force, and no one but John Nance could have written it. Only he could have made sophisticated, scientifically disciplined instruction about the nature and roots of safety into a page-turner. Medical care has a ton yet to learn from the decades of progress that have brought aviation to unprecedented levels of safety, and, in instructing us all about those lessons, John Nance is not just a bridge-builder he is the bridge." --Donald M. Berwick, MD, MPP, President and CEO, Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI)

*"A gentle, effective presentation of grieving and moving on." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review) A beautiful father-daughter story celebrating love, loss, and healing, and one bird's broken wing that may prove impossible to fix. Lucy has always been good at fixing things--the wonky mailbox, broken watches, even Dad's old binoculars. And Lucy is happy to help her dad; they share a special bond. It's just the two of them, after all. So when Lucy finds a tiny bird with a broken wing, she's sure she can fix him too--but not everything that's broken can be fixed. A tender and loving story about loss, healing, and the special connection between fathers and daughters. Praise for When We Fly: "The core of author-illustrator McGeachin’s poignant, fantastical tale is grounded in sobering reality, as Lucy’s father helps her come to terms with the knowledge that not everything is fixable, but he also teaches her that moving forward is possible with the support of loved ones."--Publishers Weekly

By 1956 they have become Frank and Claire Green, a young married couple building a new life in postwar Detroit. When INS agent James Giannopoulos tracks them down, Frank learns that Vogel is executing men like Frank for their wartime transgressions.
