5.0 out of 5 stars East to the Dawn: The Life of Amelia Earhart, November 4, 2009

By	Lydia Dean Pilcher "Producer" (New York, New York) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

East to the Dawn is a superbly-written biography of Amelia Earhart by Susan Butler. This is a must-read for all seeking an in-depth view of the woman whose irrepressible spirit took her places where no man or woman had gone before. Amelia's life with her partner and husband, George Putnam, amidst her high profile career, is the basis of the new motion picture, "Amelia," starring Hilary Swank. As one of the producers of this film, I can attest to the significance of East to the Dawn, as a key source for the film. Butler's research reveals a fascinating relationship between Earhart and Gene Vidal (the father of Gore). As the daughter of an aviatrix, Susan Butler provides keen insights into what drives a woman to question the status quo and take risks beyond daredevil proportion. We also learn how Amelia impacted the world and why she remains an indelible legend and icon today.
