Publisher's summary

Before 1909, flying across the English Channel seemed an impossible feat, but James Drake, a brave young aviator was willing to try. Set in Edwardian England and ideal for those who enjoy Julie Klassen novels, this romance about an English aviation pioneer and the girl who falls in love with him is filled with faith and high-flying adventure.

Isabella Grayson, the eldest daughter of a wealthy, English newspaper magnate, longs to become a journalist, but her parents don't approve. They want her to marry well and help them gain a higher standing in society. After she writes an anonymous letter to the editor that impresses her father, her parents reluctantly agree she can write a series of articles about aviation and the race to fly across the English Channel, but only if she promises to accept a marriage proposal within the year. When James Drake, an aspiring aviator, crashes his flying machine at the Grayson's new estate, Bella is intrigued. James is determined to be the first to fly across the Channel and win the prize Mr. Grayson's newspaper is offering. He hopes it will help him secure a government contract to build airplanes and redeem a terrible family secret. James wants to win Bella's heart, but his background and lack of social standing make it unlikely her parents would approve. If he fails to achieve his dream, how will he win the love and respect he is seeking? Will Bella's faith and support help him find the strength and courage he needs when unexpected events turn their world upside down?

Good story

I have enjoyed Carrie Turansky‘s books and this was no exception. It was interesting to learn about early manned flight. The romance and the character growth was well done also. I didn’t care for some of the narration, the accents seemed either overdone or not authentic at times. However I’m glad I listened to this story, and look forward to more from this author!
