Night Flying

Writing in her diary, Mae questions God as she and her husband receive heartbreaking news about her pregnancy. Agonizing over the path ahead, the decisions they face soon threaten their marriage—is it right to bring a child into the world who they’ve been told might suffer?

Pressured to end the pregnancy, Mae escapes to her hometown and visits her grandmother. There, she also reconnects with Will, a childhood friend who was born deaf. She confides her despair to Will as he shares his own struggle to help his dying father, who has asked for his suffering to end.

After her visit, Mae and Will write to each other as they continue their heartbreaking journeys. While Mae navigates the decisions she must make, including the possibly of forging ahead alone, Will must reconcile the promise he has made to his father and his mother's reluctance to let go.

Mae and Will’s story weaves an intimate narrative of love and hope, as Night Flying explores the difficult choices we encounter, both in life and in death.
