Flying Angels: A Novel | Danielle Steel
2 posts | 2 read | 2 to read
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 Parkers life changes forever when Pearl Harbor is attacked on December 7, 1941. Her brother, a talented young Navy pilot, had been stationed there, poised to fulfill their late fathers 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.

This may be my favorite DS book in several years! WWII Historical fiction told from a different perspective, Nurses working on the elite medical air evacuation transport squadron. Just as I got a bit invested and attached to a couple of characters in this book, more we're added in, & then more. It was interesting to watch their friendships develop despite vast differences in their backgrounds. A different perspective on a WWII (cont in comments)

TheHeartlandBookFairy novel, one that I found particularly interesting! The 1st DS book I have read in a long time that did nothat did not feature characters of privileged backgrounds who went through hard times, but for whom money afforded them privileges to make all well. This book was more realistic, more believable, and more difficult to read because it is so believable! If you are expecting a happily ever after for all of the characters in the book then you'll be in for a shock. There is some happily ever after but there is so much heartbreak before that. This book is truly realistic and really well written and by far my DS favorite in years! I highly recommend this book❤ 2y
