Daredevils

By Anne Greene

Description:

1925 – What happens in the roaring twenties when a daredevil barnstormer falls in love with a wing-walking flapper threatened by dangerous men who will exploit her? Orphan and wing-walker Gloria needs a job when her boss dies in a barnstorming accident. With no other jobs available, she sweet-talks Rand into letting her walk his wing. Flying Ace Rand fights wartime injuries that hamper his flying even as he works to gain the world-record for solo flight across the Atlantic. He bucks his wealthy dad’s plans for him to settle down, join the company, and marry a socialite. Rand falls in love with the courageous, fun-loving, talented, and above all daring Gloria. But Orphan Gloria’s experienced too many men who promise love and marriage and instead take advantage of her being alone in the world. She holds Rand at arm’s length. Without her knowledge, Rand protects her and makes sure she doesn’t starve. When Gloria’s offered a movie contract Rand knows he must intervene. Will Gloria turn her back on fame and fortune to wed a man addicted to danger?

Book Takeaway:

An exciting romance with much history about early pilots and wingwalkers. Plus a quiet message on what the Lord requires of a believer.

Why the author wrote this book:

I love to fly. I also fell in love with the history of flying and how early pilots performed death-defying barnstorming shows with LOVELY LADIES WALKING THEIR WINGS. This is a story of one such brave lady who was far ahead of her times.
