Hope Takes Flight (American Century Book #2)
Ebook
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?
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.
