Klappentext

Amidst the chaos of war, this spitfire girl will soar. 

As Europe edges closer to war, Bella's world is focused on avoiding a future like her mother's. She doesn't want to go to secretarial school to become another proper young lady; standing by prettily waiting to be chosen as a wife by her employer or another suitable man.

Bella wants more than that life can give. And like many women, her first opportunity for a different future comes when war is declared and duty calls her to the skies. It allows her a proper escape from a father who is determined to keep her away from the one man she thinks she could love, Will.

But wartime brings the threat of pain as much as it does freedom. And Bella's tentative happiness is set to be risked by a secret much closer to home.

Can she escape the darkness at home and fly her way to liberty and happiness?
