THE LONG FLIGHT HOME is based on a true story of a 15-year old girl from a small coal mining town in Southeastern Kentucky who wrote a letter to a pirate radio station near the Isle of Man requesting a pen pal. A reply came from a 16-year old boy in a large fishing port in the Northwest of England.
The two became great friends, corresponding through written letters for almost two years. Then, after an unexpected turn of events, the girl was forced to abruptly abandon their friendship. They lost touch, never knowing what happened to the other, each carrying on their separate lives. Forty-two years later and now grown, he ran across the well-worn bookmark she had sent him inside a Christmas card when they were teenagers. This event prompted him to wonder what had happened to her, and to do an internet search. This is the amazing story of their journeys.
