Pre-Owned Heroines of WWII Mrs. Witherspoon Goes to War: Volume 4, (Paperback)

Wow! What an exciting adventure I just took reading this book. The main character, Peggy is dedicated to her country. I love how she stands up to those who think women have no business being in the service. During the time period this was written, men took great exception to women flying aircraft. Bravo to all the women who proved them wrong. The details about the aircraft are phenomenal and shows that the author took her research seriously. It amazed me how much work went into making sure each plane was safe to fly. Peggy is top notch in her field and is always ready to take a plane up to make sure it was functional. I do not like to fly at all. Oh I know it is suppose to be safer than riding in a car, but being up there in the sky is a little unnerving for me. It was easy to like Major Howie Berg with his attitude of supporting WASPS. He does have a little misgiving about Peggy and her crew, but over time he started to trust them more. That bring up something I want to point out about the story. The author illustrates trusting God by the secret mission that took place in the story. Each person involved in this dangerous mission put their trust in God to protect them. Peggy may have wavered a little in her faith throughout the story, but with this important mission she knew she had to trust God. I loved how a group of three women took on a secret and intense mission without thought to their own safety. There is romance in the story that slowly developed but I have to say I was more interested in behind the scenes details where planes were worked on and the duties of the women were explained. It highlights an important group of women who loved their country and went above and beyond to achieve a second chance for those who had almost given up. I received a copy of this book from Barbour Publishing and Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.

I really enjoyed Mrs. Witherspoon Goes to War. She is a widow and mom of two daughters who chooses to do her part in the war effort. I think she is a strong character as were her two fellow WASPS. She has ambition and sees the worth of a soul! And that was something I loved about her. Their patriotism was amazing and speaks highly of the women who were actively involved in the war efforts despite their male counterparts that saw them through a different viewpoint and were not always supportive of their efforts. There was romance between Peggy and the major that grew over time. There was adventure and action the story continues. It was a story that kept you reading and I enjoyed it very much. I received a copy of this book from Barbour Publishing and was under no obligation to post a review. All thoughts are my own.
