Published in 1931, Bess Streeter Aldrich's novel 'A White Bird Flying' is about Abbie Deal, the matriarch of a pioneer Nebraska family, who has died at the beginning of the story. She left her china and heavy furniture to others, and to her granddaughter Laura - the secret of her dream of finer things. Grandma Deal's literary aspirations had been thwarted by the hard circumstances of her life, but Laura vows that nothing, no one, will deter her from a successful writing career. Childhood passes, and the more she repeats her vow the more life intervenes.
