An emotional novel of love, loyalty, and faith - and one woman’s exhilarating journey of self-discovery during World War II.
Rural China, 1942. Twenty-two-year-old Eugenia Baker exists in a bubble as yet untouched by WWII. Content to help her father with his missionary work, Genie sees her future as a straight, if narrow, road - until an American pilot arrives, warning them of the approaching Japanese army.
Lieutenant Ted Younan is one of the Flying Tigers, volunteer fighters protecting China from aerial attacks. After rescuing Ted from his downed plane, Genie’s father asks the flyboy to get his daughter across the mountains so she can escape to the United States. To leave her beloved home - much less chaperoned by her father’s overbearing assistant, Nathan - is the last thing Genie wants, but she reluctantly agrees.
Ted is unlike any man Genie has known, and he opens her eyes to the idea of determining her own fate and chasing her dreams. But Genie has her doubts when tragedy thrusts responsibility upon her and the war creates unexpected opportunities, challenges...and temptations. Now, a world away from the woman she was, Genie must discover the woman she wants to be.

The story was a little longer than it probably needed to be, several times the story began to drag and it could have been edited to keep its momentum fluid.
The story line is cloudy as everyone seems to have secrets. Every friend seems to be untrustworthy and I got really tired of that. We all have people in our lives who are less than honest with us but everyone we meet?!?
The story spends a lot of time covering gender roles of the time and I found that thought provoking. I wouldn't consider it a love story by any stretch of the imagination. Romance is sorely missing. Going back to gender roles, I think the main character's search for what her roll should be is the main storyline and considering the era it is set in that could have been a great story if the other aspects weren't so murky.
There was an additional plot twist that I thought was unnecessary and I felt it look away from the overall story. Her "friend" is involved and I think it was a major detractor especially when the story ends and the author doesn't bother to give that plot point any resolution. I also felt like it would not have been so widely known (the biggest secret that only the main character isn't privy to) to others based on the era.
Overall review: had great potential, needed editing for flow, and needed to focus on what could have made it an amazing story: gender (a woman's) roles in the world during WWII.
