Description

A WASP Goes Above the Call of Duty to Free Captive American Soldiers
 
Full of intrigue, adventure, and romance, this new series celebrates the unsung heroes—the heroines of WWII.
 
Peggy Witherspoon, a widow, mother, and pilot flying for the Women’s Airforce Service in 1944 clashes with her new reporting officer. Army Air Corp Major Howie Berg was injured in combat and is now stationed at Bolling Field in Washington D.C. Most of Peggy’s jobs are safe, predictable, and she can be home each night with her three daughters—until a cargo run to Cuba alerts her to American soldiers being held captive there, despite Cuba being an “ally.” Will Peggy go against orders to help the men—even risk her own life?

Featured Reviews

Mrs. Witherspoon Goes to War by Mary Davis is an excellent historical fiction that focusses on the vital and under appreciated work that the WASPs performed in the US during WWII. It is the newest book in the Heroines of WWII series. I just loved this!

I learned so much about the history of the WASP service unit and what it all composed of from within this book. I knew about the WAAF service units in England during WWII, but knew much less about the groups that were of similar comparison within the US. It was fascinating to see all of the roles that these strong, brave, intelligent, and irreplaceable women played within the Women’s Airforce Service Pilots. The author clearly has done her research, and I basked in the glow of her knowledge and expertise while learning and enjoying this book. These women were vital, and so under appreciated and not even paid or recognized as a true military component.

Peggy Witherspoon is a force to be reconned with. She is a mother of two, still grieving for the loss of her beloved husband that died while flying in combat during the same war. Her faith strained at the beginning of the book, is finally returned, flourishing during all of the obstacles presented to her professionally and personally.

I loved the transformations that took place for her during this novel, her relationship with Army Air Corp Major Howie Berg, and also the happiness she found in general. Through this book, she found her faith and hope in God again, she found love, forgiveness, and acceptance. I also love that Howie found these things as well in regards to his injury in the line of duty, and with his ability to open up and find love and purpose again.

There was suspense, action, history, and romance. This book had all the elements I was looking for. The author’s note gave a wonderful reference.

I highly recommend this novel, as well as the entire Heroines of WWII series.

5/5 stars
