| Summary |
"Amidst WWII, aviator Nancy Harkness Love's passion for flying intertwines with a tender romance with aviator Bob Love. However, her dream of a female pilot squadron faces resistance from military leaders and Jackie Cochran. Inspired by Nancy's true story, Heather B. Moore's novel about this aviation hero weaves a tale of love, ambition, and pioneering courage amid wartime challenges"-- Provided by publisher.
"Based on a true story and set against the backdrop of WWII, a young woman's love of flying becomes an epic fight for identity and equality. In the quiet town of Houghton, Michigan, sixteen-year-old Nancy Harkness discovers a passion that ignites her heart in ways she never expected. The arrival of barnstormer pilots brings more than just the thrill of their daring stunts; it brings the promise of adventure. Nancy vows she will be a pilot someday. Years later, as the dark clouds of World War II gather on the horizon, Nancy's dreams take a new and daring turn. With unwavering determination, she envisions a squadron of female pilots. Yet, her path is far from clear. The male-dominated world of aviation pushes back, determined to keep women out of the skies. But Nancy isn't alone in her quest for equality. Jackie Cochran, a formidable aviatrix and Nancy's rival, has her own dreams and ambitions for women in aviation. As they both navigate the turbulent skies of a nation at war, their destinies intertwine in a story of rivalry, respect, and competition. "-- Provided by publisher.
