I would like to share a new book Flying Angels from Danielle Steel David and Charlie were kind enough to bless me with the other day when we went shopping at Walmart.
I would like to share a fun fact with you about me. I love War, and the women Rosie and Women Pilots and Pinup Girls. I would watch Saving Private Ryan everyday if I could. Which is why had to read Flying Angels and you could find me stalking the Internet and also Walmart’s waiting for the book to arrive.
Once it was on the shelves because we’ve been trying not to spend money on nonessentials I would just walk by and always tell the book one day I will purchase you although it might be at Half Price books which might be a bit cheaper than Walmart.
But Charlie got tired of seeing how upset I was because I didn’t have anything to read that evening. When David said he needed to run to Walmart for a pair of shoes Charlie said he wanted to go with David. I stayed home to work. Once they got back Charlie handed me Flying Angels which he had used his money he had earned to buy a Game Card with.
I was so surprised I couldn’t stop crying and telling Charlie he shouldn’t have. All Charlie said was mom you do so much for me I wanted to surprise you. I was going to go later that morning and get Charlie his Game Card, but David knows me so well he picked one up for Charlie.
As I sat down that evening to read Flying Angels for the first time ever Charlie said mom let’s read the book together because I want to know why you like Danielle Steel so much. I almost melted on the couch. Especially when David joined us.
I read the first three chapters and let David and Charlie know I could finish the book on my own, but they let me know they wanted to know what was going to happen. As well as more about the War and the ladies who worked in the war leading to new Lesson Plans in our Homeschool Classes.
Once we finished the book both Charlie and David said man oh man that was a fantastic book and when will the next book come out. I showed Charlie and David Danielle Steel’s website and we joined her newsletter and now we will be reading her books as a Family and using them in our Homeschool.
About:
World War II brings together six remarkable young flight nurses, who face the challenges of War and its many heartbreaks and victories as unsung heroes, in this inspiring novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Danielle Steel.
Audrey Parker’s life changes forever when Pearl Harbor is attacked on December 7th, 1941. Her brother, a talented young Navy pilot, had been stationed there, poised to fulfill their late father’s distinguished legacy. Fresh out of nursing school with a passion and a born gift for helping others, both Audrey and her friend Lizzie suddenly find their Nation on the brink of war. Driven to do whatever they can to serve, they enlist in the Army and embark on a new adventure as flight nurses.
Risking their lives on perilous missions, they join the elite Medical Air Evacuation Transport Squadron and fly into enemy territory almost daily to rescue wounded soldiers from the battlefield. Audrey and Lizzie make enormous sacrifices to save lives alongside an extraordinary group of nurses:
Alex, who longs to make a difference in the world; Louise, a bright mind who faced racial prejudice growing up in the South; Pru, a selfless leader with a heart of gold; and Emma, whose confidence and grit push her to put everything on the line for her patients.
Even knowing they will not achieve any rank and will receive little pay for their efforts, the “Flying Angels” will give their all in the fight for freedom. They serve as bravely and tirelessly as the men they rescue on the front lines, in daring airlifts, and are eternally bound by their loyalty to one another. Danielle Steel presents a sweeping, stunning tribute to these incredibly courageous women, inspiring symbols of bravery and valor.
