NatalieRiley | Mar 16, 2024 |    ) leslie.98 | Apr 6, 2021 |  ) KarenMonsen | May 3, 2020 | Review of the Audible Original audiobook edition (January 30, 2020) [Warning: There is a brief section of obscenities and racist invective towards the end of the book] The above-the-clouds imagery used in the cover picture might give an impression of inspirational hopes and dreams. The actual book is rather bland though and actually becomes disturbing at one point with an unnecessary obscenity-laced rant when a Coast Guard officer (who was an apparent romantic rival of the girl's father) curses out the girl who attempts to alert the authorities to Amelia Earhart's final transmissions which she had inadvertently picked up on ham radio. Alone with the Stars was one of the free Audible Originals for members for February 2020. It was available as of January 30, 2020 to members and to the general public for a standard price.

In the summer of 1937, Amelia Earhart is the most famous woman in the world - a record-breaking pilot, a best-selling author, and a modern woman shattering the glass ceiling in the early days of aviation. And then she vanishes. In Tampa, Florida, 15-year-old Lizzie Friedlander spends her afternoons glued to her father's radio, tapping into the enormity of a world she longs to travel. Lizzie can hardly believe her ears when she picks up a radio signal from a faraway source that sets her heart racing: "Amelia Earhart calling SOS!" As Lizzie copies down the transmissions, it's clear that the Amelia Earhart is not lost at sea, as the newspapers are dreading, but alive and calling for help. In a race against time, Lizzie must convince the local Coast Guard that the radio transmissions were real and that Earhart's life hangs in the balance. But will anyone believe her? Written for audio by David R. Gillham, the acclaimed, New York Times best-selling author of City of Women, and performed by Emily Bauer and Hilary Huber, Alone with the Stars is a breathtaking and illuminating tribute to a woman who risked her life in pursuit of new heights, and the young girl who tried desperately to save her when everything went wrong. Inspired by actual events, Alone with the Stars reveals, in riveting detail, the final moments in the life of a great heroine, whose courage changed the world forever.

Lizzie is a 15-year-old, living with her dad in Florida. She’s fascinated by her dad’s radio and spends one hour every afternoon listening to radio transmissions. One day, she hears A.E.’s distress call. Excited to learn that A.E. is alive and asking for help when everyone else fears A.E. is lost at sea. Lizzie records the transmissions she hears and shares them with her father. Together, they set off to the Coast Guard office to pass along her information in the hopes that Lizzie will be believed and possibly A.E. will be rescued.
