An extraordinary story inspired by the real Women's Air Raid Defense, where an unlikely recruit and her sisters-in-arms forge their place in WWII history.
Daisy Wilder prefers the company of horses to people, bare feet and salt water to high heels and society parties. Then, in the dizzying aftermath of the attack on Pearl Harbor, Daisy enlists in a top secret program, replacing male soldiers in a war zone for the first time. Under fear of imminent invasion, the WARDs guide pilots into blacked-out airstrips and track unidentified planes across Pacific skies.
But not everyone thinks the women are up to the job, and the new recruits must rise above their differences and work side by side despite the resistance and heartache they meet along the way. With America's future on the line, Daisy is determined to prove herself worthy. And with the man she's falling for out on the front lines, she cannot fail. From radar towers on remote mountaintops to flooded bomb shelters, she'll need her new team when the stakes are highest. Because the most important battles are fought—and won—together.
This inspiring and uplifting tale of pioneering, unsung heroines vividly transports the listener to wartime Hawaii, where one woman's call to duty leads her to find courage, strength and sisterhood.

Very different woman are trained to replace men, who are needed for fighting, as filters and plotters. The US Army is determined there will be no more mistakes reading the information they are getting on the new invention radar like on the day of the attack. They picked up planes heading for Hawaii, but since they had new planes coming in from San Francisco, they didn't take them seriously.
The first time I listened to the story, I didn't give it the credit it deserves. I think i was paying too much attention to the blanket I was knitting and not enough to the story. The second time through I caught a lot about the women's life during the war. I really liked the way everyone was accepted, how they coped with war.
One was a pilot's wife, another a pilots girl friend, another was dealing with a marriage that had big problems, the main character grew into a much better woman.
There was some romance, but it was only in the background.
Very good story

We lived in Oahu in the late 70’s, and visited many of the sites mentioned in the book. Many of the pronunciations and locales brought back such warm memories.
