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?

As soon as I saw the title
and the cover, my curiosity was piqued. I was aware of the series and most
definitely aware that Barbour publishes fantastic books. Ms. Daivs is a new to me author, so that was
interesting to me, too.
I found the subject matter interesting;
I had some idea the important role WASPS played in the war, but I didn’t realize
how disparaged they were. It was great
that the WASPS established strong friendships and encouraged each other during
such difficult times.
I enjoyed the relationship between
Peggy and Howie which was sweet, his kindness to Peggy’s little girls made me
like him even more than I thought possible.
The one thing that bothered me is the spelling of “Oxen Hill”, Maryland,
I live very close to it and it’s spelled, “Oxon Hill”. It’s a small thing and maybe that was the
original spelling or maybe it was corrected in the final printing of the book. However, it didn’t interfere with my overall
enjoyment of this informative, sweet story of courage, friendship and romance.
I received a copy of this
book from the publisher. All opinions
are my own.
