This dramatic, passionate story of courage and honor, love and loss is set amid the triumphs and tragedies of the Second World War. A desperate rescue brings together a researcher's daughter, Kitty Kincaid, and J.R. Cassidy, a U.S. Army officer who specializes in impossible missions. During her ordeal in Nazi hands, and the harrowing escape that follows, Kitty proves that while she may be blind, she's anything but helpless -- and Cassidy soon decides that, while he can either lead or follow, he never wants to get out of Kitty's way. Love and war and a passion for flying bring together the unlikely trio of barnstormer's daughter Charley Morrison, Texas mechanic Red Walker, and British flying ace George Inskip. As their fates intertwine, and mesh with Kitty's and Cassidy's, these remarkable men and women fight for the future -- while facing the horrors of war, bearing the burdens of duty, and experiencing all the unexpected glories of love.
