Ever since she was 10, Rosalie's eyes have been on the skies. But Britain's entry into World War II brings civilian aviation to a standstill. Everything changes when she learns that the Air Transport Authority is recruiting women pilots, and despite her mother's objections, Rosalie cannot resist the call. Rosalie forms a fast friendship with fellow flyer Caroline, and though she'd would much rather spend her time on the wing than on the arm of any man, meeting gruff pilot Snug Durrant and RAF squadron leader Alan Chersey changes everything. Will love and tragedy send Rosalie's exhilarating airborne life crashing to the ground?
