Becket is a 14-year-old girl living in New York City with her widowed father. As she encounters the pangs of adolescence--her quest for popularity at school, her disturbing attraction to an older woman, her difficulties with her best friend--Becket is emblematic of a young girl growing up among the seductions and dangers of junk culture.
A fictional account of Amelia Earhart's disappearance, as told by the aviatrix herself. She details her love of flying, her aspirations as a child, her relationship with her husband G. P. Putnam, as well as with Fred Noonan, her navigator, and the notorious disappearance itself.
