Format: Paperback
What a wonderful way to tell a story! We're given two main characters to follow through the years of 1933 to 1975. Each narrates his/her own story, switching back and forth from chapter to chapter. Morgan and Georgia emerged from completely different backgrounds, yet shared a single passion. The passion of flight, so exquisitely expressed by Marie, that the reader is transported to the sky. At once a heartfelt and visual experience, it is impossible to not become fully invested in the lives of these two individuals as they fledge toward a relationship.
Although the book takes place during World War II and carries with it much historical content, it is so much more than just historical fiction. Marie has developed a variety of secondary characters, with colorful personalities. In doing so, she has livened up the mix, and given us the opportunity to feel a multitude of emotions toward everyone in the story. There are those that are sadly comical, the ones you love to hate, and those that have struggled through hardship and can only be an inspiration. This book had me both crying and laughing outright.
Wings of the Morning can be read simply, as an easy-flowing love story, or as an example of patriotism and the recognition of the women of the WASPs, or if you are so inclined, delve deeply, and delight in the spiritual side of the story, consider such intriguing topics as Nature vs Nurture. But most of all, enjoy what Marie so capably brings to the mind's eye.

Bostwick's novels are historical fiction love stories that feature dedicated,strong women who successfully overcome life's hardships and setbacks to achieve their goals. WINGS tells the story of the Women's Air Service Pilots (WASP); an organization of brave women who helped win World War II, and about which too little is known. This book will go a long way to making that history better known. One of the main characters is Georgia, one of these pilots. Readers will cheer her as she succeeds in her life's desire to become a pilot.

Readers who are looking for books that are inspiring, uplifting, soul satisfying, and that celebrates the virtues of honor, duty, dedication, and love that endures, buy books written by Bostwick. You will not be disappointed. Fans of Jan Karon will fall in love with Marie Bostwick.

This book really ought to come with a warning. Seriously. Maybe not on the front cover as it would mar the pretty cover but on the first page there should be a warning label done in cheerful yellow stating that once you pick this book up, you will not be able to put it back down till the last page has been turned.

Ok, so no cheerful yellow label. But that's my warning.

I have read all of Bostwick's books and I have fallen in love with every single one of them, this one being no exeception. This one is Morgan's story. Morgan is Eva's son who was born with a heart of gold and a desire to fly the skies like his father did. Only, he never knew the deep dark secret of his life till later. And that secret ironically saved his life.

And this is Georgia's story as well. An illegimate daughter of a woman who relies on her looks to attract men, Georgia never knew where her dreams would take her till she saw Lindbergh's plane leaving the Chicago airport when she was a child. Her dreams soared to the skies and she became one of the few elite who joined the WASPs in WWII. Though attractive and pretty, the young widow refused all offers of male companionships till she met Morgan. Even then, she had a hard time resisting his natural charms.

This is a lovely love story and one that will take your heart soaring through the skies with their dreams. It is inspirational and beautifully written. It is a keeper in anyone's library. As this reader can testify, you won't regret reading this one.

I enjoyed this story, which is a continuation of the events that occurred in the lives of an Oklahoma family,introduced to us in the book, Fields of Gold. The story is exciting and takes you back to the WWII era from a families point of view. It is a love story as well as a story that helps us look back in history. I appreciate the spirit of the American public and the family during WWII.

I loved the story, so true to life, things never go the way we plan. The story line about the "Wasps" made me sad, I remember the part they played in the war effort, and I wanted to learn to fly when I was a teenager. Unfortunately my father had past away and Mom was trying hard to keep it together, so my dream wasn't important to anyone but me.

This was an excellent story. Some true facts of Charles Lindburgh. For those who "just had" to fly - their fight to make the dream happen, their work during the war and the many friends they met along the way. For those who gave their lives, their teammates never forget them.

This was a good read. The WASP's not being militarized made me mad. But, that's just the way it goes in a sexist society of the so called good old days.....I really enjoy Marie Bostwick' s novels they never fail to make you think....good job...

One of my favorite writers did it again. Knows her subjects well and always has a good story to tell with lots of good mood setting and characters.
I am already looking forward to the next book.
