About the book:
Lt. Raymond Novak prefers the pulpit to the cockpit, but at least his stateside job training B-17 pilots allows him the luxury of a personal life. As he courts Helen Carlisle, a young war widow and mother who conceals her pain under a frenzy of volunteer work, the sparks of their romance set a fire that flings them both into peril. After Ray leaves to fly a combat mission at the peak of the air war over Europe, Helen takes a job in a dangerous munitions yard and confronts an even graver menace in her own home. Will they find the courage to face their challenges? And can their young love survive until blue skies return?

My Review:
This is book three of a series but I hadn't read the first two books and didn't find it a problem. It could be read like a single book. I enjoyed the story. I haven't read alot of books around WW2 so found this interesting. I know alot about the war from the Australian side but not as much from the American side and the Air Force. Without giving anything away in this book I felt for Helen in the story her husband died a war Hero and his family have almost made a shrine to him and do not want her to move on. She wants her own life for her and her son we learn more about her story as the book goes on. Ray doesn't want to fight but loves flying but we see him head over to England for a combat mission. He has fallen for Helen but there are issues to be dealt with. This book deals with issues of low self esteem, guilt, and dealing with fears. I found this book riveting and made me think for days after reading this book. Excellent book.
