Leap of Faith
David Moore, 43, wants to fly. Not in an airplane or helicopter, but like a bird with his own home-made wings. In the "Birdman of Durham," Carolyn Moreau of the Hartford Courant describes Moore's improbable quest with simple, clear prose that conveys deep yearning. As she spins her narrative, you'll be one the edge of your seat waiting to find out whether Moore finally makes it off the ground.
The Courant featured another strongly written story full of deep emotion a couple of weeks ago. "A Horrific Crash that Changed Lives" by Daniel P. Jones explores the impact of a deadly car crash on the lives of those who survived and the people who valiantly rescued them.
