Brief description:
Daisy Wilder prefers the company of horses to people, bare feet and salt
water to high heels and society parties. Then, in the dizzying aftermath of the
attack on Pearl Harbor, Daisy enlists in a top secret program, replacing male
soldiers in a war zone for the first time. Under fear of imminent invasion, the
WARDs guide pilots into blacked-out airstrips and track unidentified planes
across Pacific skies.
But not everyone thinks the women are up to the job, and the new recruits
must rise above their differences and work side by side despite the resistance
and heartache they meet along the way. With Americas future on the line, Daisy
is determined to prove herself worthy. And with the man she’s falling for out on
the front lines, she cannot fail. From radar towers on remote mountaintops to
flooded bomb shelters, she’ll need her new team when the stakes are highest.
Because the most important battles are fought—and won—together.
This inspiring and uplifting tale of pioneering, unsung heroines vividly
transports the reader to wartime Hawaii, where one woman’s call to duty leads
her to find courage, strength and sisterhood.
