Publisher Description
A WASP Goes Above the Call of Duty to Free Captive American Soldiers
Full of intrigue, adventure, and romance, this new series celebrates the unsung heroes—the heroines of WWII.
Peggy Witherspoon, a widow, mother, and pilot flying for the Women’s Airforce Service in 1944 clashes with her new reporting officer. Army Air Corp Major Howie Berg was injured in combat and is now stationed at Bolling Field in Washington D.C. Most of Peggy’s jobs are safe, predictable, and she can be home each night with her three daughters—until a cargo run to Cuba alerts her to American soldiers being held captive there, despite Cuba being an “ally.” Will Peggy go against orders to help the men—even risk her own life?

Was God using this man’s simple considerate actions to aid in welding her heart back together?
Imagine wanting to fly so badly that you use all your money to buy a plane that doesn’t work with the intention of bringing it back into usable form. This is the beginning of the story of WASP Margaret (Peggy) Deny. Not only did she earn her wings and fly that plane, she became a leading member of the Women Airforce Service Pilots that were stationed just outside of DC. These incredible ladies were able to do almost everything it took to keep the lousy planes they were given in the air.
Major Howie Berg, injured in Europe, is now responsible for the base where the WASPs are stationed. Finding it difficult to accept the capabilities of these highly skilled women, they found it prudent to make plans without his knowledge. Could they possibly manage to safely follow through on those plans without help?
