Set in Puerto Rico in 1947, HARRY'S ARK tells the story of a revolutionary helicopter that, on its maiden flight, set a world's record, and changed the lives of those who built it. But HARRY'S ARK, even more so, tells the story of the forbidden love between Don Perry and Patty Symms, between the pilot who aspired to become the Negro Lindbergh and the photojournalist from Life who became involved in a story she only set out to report. Ultimately, the novel, like the love they shared, deals with the courage to dare and the willingness to try.¿
