untangle the secrets, commitments, and expectations that keep them
apart?

"Sarah Sundin is an extraordinarily gifted storyteller who puts the
reader in the cockpit of B-17 bombers as easily as she crafts an
achingly emotional World War II romance. This is not only the best
World War II love story I've ever read, but it may be the best book
I've ever read."--Cheryl Bolen, Holt Medallion Winner, Best
