Small-town girl Darcy Shea aspires to be the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean. All she needs is a plane, flight lessons--and the luck to avoid marriage. A husband would never allow her to fly, let alone truly soar. When test pilot Jack Hunter crash-lands practically in her backyard, her prayers seem answered...almost. The dashing aviator won't let her near his plane--or reveal the real reason he's keeping her grounded. But Darcy won't give up until both their dreams come true. And even after conquering the wild blue yonder, she may find that love is truly the greatest adventure of all.… (mais)
In 1918 Michigan, Darcy is dreaming of flying - a dream that becomes possible when test Pilot Jack Hunter crash-lands in a neighboring field. Now all Darcy has to do is convince him that this is meant to be. ( )
I absolutely loved this book about headstrong Darcy Shea, whose dream is to fly, and the wonderful Jack Hunter, who helps Darcy realize her dreams both in the air and on the ground. Loved Darcy and Jack, and the secondary cast was wonderful. I also enjoyed reading about the time period (1918-1919) this book was set in. I'm looking forward to reading more from Christine Johnson in the future. ( )
