Review (May 2011)
"If you are interested in women's history, WWII or just want to
read an excellently crafted story, then I suggest you check out
Wings: A Novel of World War II Flygirls ." --www.ActingBalanced.com

"Wings is told in an easy-going natural voice. . . . It is
extremely well-researched and when Sally was flying, I felt like I
was in the cockpit with her. [I felt] like I was reading about the
1940s." --www.ReelSwellBlog.com (October 2011)
"Fans of vivid historical fiction, of WWII settings, and of coming
of age novels will enjoy this novel as much as I did. And you'll
love the beautiful cover!" --www.PerfectRetort.blogspot.com
