Numbed by grief and harboring shameful secrets, Lt. Adler Paxton ships to England with the US 357th Fighter Group in 1943. Determined to become an ace pilot, Adler battles the German Luftwaffe in treacherous dogfights in the skies over France as the Allies struggle for control of the air before the D-day invasion.
Violet Lindstrom wanted to be a missionary, but for now she serves in the American Red Cross, where she arranges entertainment for the men of the 357th in the Aeroclub on base and sets up programs for local children. Drawn to the mysterious Adler, she enlists his help with her work and urges him to reconnect with his family after a long estrangement.
Despite himself, Adler finds his defenses crumbling when it comes to Violet. But D-day draws near. And secrets can't stay buried forever.
Bestselling author Sarah Sundin returns readers to the shores of Normandy, this time in the air, as the second Paxton brother prepares to face the past--and the most fearsome battle of his life.
My thoughts: I loved this return to the Sunrise At Normandy series. It was filled with rich historical detail and really brought the time period and the battle of Normandy to life. I love that this series explores the different fields of the military. Violet and Adler where fun to get to know as they get to know one another and face difficult circumstances.
I highly recommend this one!
I received this book from Revell. This is my honest review.

I'm so far behind on being current with Sarah's novels!! Hopefully this is something I work to remedy in 2019. :)
