In this debut we follow the adventures of Alice Whitley, a young and innocent 23-year-old who's given a plumb assignment by her NYC publisher: fly to California to help an unusual family of two, by serving as personal assistant to the reclusive bestselling author who's agreed to write her first book in decades. But Alice soon discovers her only role is to serve as child-wrangler to the author's exceptionally quirky 9-year-old, who's constantly getting into trouble while dressing as a 1930s movie star, complete with top hat.

If you needed a quick divorce in the 1930s, you’d head to Reno, Nevada, the so-called “divorce capital of the world.” Wealthy women waited out the six weeks at dude ranches to become “residents” so their petition would be granted. Such is the case for heiress and amateur pilot Nina who is on her third divorce and Emily who finally had the gumption to leave her cheating husband. Their lives converge at the Flying Leap in this amusing exploration of marriage, divorce, and friendship.
