For the next few years, Amelia worked during the week and flew on the weekends. After all, there weren’t any careers for women in flying. She was flying for the sheer “fun of it.” Then, once again, something happened that changed her life.

In 1924, Amelia’s parents divorced. They were no longer happy together. Edwin remained in California. Amy wanted to go East to Boston, where Muriel was in school. Amelia sold her plane and bought a bright yellow roadster, a type of car with a cloth top. In the 1920s, there weren’t any paved highways, just dirt roads. There weren’t many gasoline stations and no fast-food restaurants along the way.

Late in the spring of 1925, Amelia and her mother headed East in Amelia’s car. They set out to cross the entire country, alone. This trip might have stopped some people. It didn’t stop Amelia.
