The other half

"The Other Half" by Edwin L. Sabin is a story about love, loss, and finding peace after past mistakes. Set in the early 1900s, it follows an aviator and his passenger, John Brown, on a flight over the American West after leaving Omaha. Brown is searching for something with the other half of a coin he treasures. When the plane crashes into a desolate location, the aviator and Brown stumble upon remains and piece together Brown's tragic past. The story blends adventure with a deep dive into Brown's regrets over abandoning his wife. He carries the weight of his actions, a search that is only resolved with tragic information, bringing both halves of a meaningful object and a love story together - while finally granting him closure.

Edwin Legrand Sabin was an American author, primarily of boys' adventure stories, mostly set in the American West.
