In the quiet aftermath of World War I, Hearst journalist Grace Hay finds herself trapped in the despair of a loveless marriage and a Europe still reeling from loss. When an invitation arrives to join the maiden voyage of the Graf Zeppelin—the first airship expedition to circle the globe—she seizes it, not only as an assignment but as an escape. Between celestial landscapes and shifting identities, she rediscovers her voice, confronts buried longings, and glimpses the possibility of love unbound by convention.

To Say Farewell Beautifully is a poetic meditation on departure, altitude, and the quiet rebellion of a woman who dares to rise.
