Just years before America witnessed the turn of the century, the three eldest Stuart children left their home in the hills of Arkansas to pursue their dreams in the land of opportunity. Now they are back for a family reunion at the humble home they left years ago. In an unforeseeable turn of events, their visit is cut short when Lylah and Amos are required to return to the city as the world edges closer to war. Within months they find themselves and their brother Gavin deeply involved in the war efforts, but not in the ways they had ever expected. And as the conditions in Europe worsen, they must face a startling reality: before it's all over, the war could claim the life of one of their own. Will the Stuarts survive these tumultuous times and return to their family safe and sound? Or will World War I forever change the lives they know?

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
Will the war in Europe take one of their own? As the Stuart family gathers once more in the shelter of the Arkansas hills, storm clouds gather on a continent an ocean away. Their sweet reunion cut short by the news of the sinking of the Lusitania and the start of the Great War, the Stuarts rush off to their individual destinies in war-torn Europe. Hope Takes Flight is a gripping story that sweeps you along from middle America to bustling New York, from war-torn France to the beauty of a German estate, and from the glitzy London stage to a tattered Berlin. A romantic and action-filled saga peppered with famous figures like Woodrow Wilson, William Randolph Hearst, and the Red Baron himself, Hope Takes Flight brings to life the tumultuous story of World War I--the beginning of a new era in our world and in the life of the Stuart family. Formerly a college English professor, Gilbert Morris spends all his waking hours writing fiction. The best-selling author of the House of Winslow series, he lives with his wife in Orange Beach, Alabama.
