When sixteen-year-old Dolly Shepherd is offered the chance to take to the sky in a hot-air balloon, there's no way she's going to turn it down. Even though the pilot actually plans for her to jump out of the balloon and plummet back to earth using just a flimsy parachute. For Dolly, it's the start of a sensational career. But the life of an aeronaut is as dangerous as it is daring, and there will be many narrow escapes along the way.

From her daring escapades in the early days of aviation to her record-breaking flights and her tragic final mission, this book tells the incredible story of a woman who defied the odds and lived life to the fullest. With its vivid descriptions and heart-pounding action, "Dolly Shepherd: The Sky's the Limit" is a must-read for anyone who loves adventure, history, and the indomitable spirit of a woman who refused to be held back by fear.
