I loved the first two books in the series and say that the first one might even be one of my favorite books ever. This one not so much, but I think it is because I am having such a hard time digesting the character of Jim. Even if he is dead, he is very much active in the lives of the others. Some reason I keep wanting Ray's mother to fix everything. I don't know why but I feel like she could... Yet then after finishing the book, my first thoughts were: Around halfway thru this novel really kicked up and was the same fiction that I love. I cried and rejoiced. Awesome second half to finish. Definitely want more from Sarah.

This is a historical romance that has all of the elements that one's heart looks for and while at the same time bringing forth events of a war time past that are true and hard to accept. Usually I am not a fan of war time novels, but this one captures my heart. Then with the second and third installment with the Wings of Glory those feelings continue on. War novels are not usually for me, but even with terminology that is a different language to me, the story really comes through and paints and incredible picture. It is a picture that is sometimes gray and sometimes vibrant with blue skies and sometimes a sepia tone with mud, but it's there all the same.

It's amazing how much can be told in such a short amount of pages it seems.

I am delighted to have found Sarah as an author for my permanent shelves of books and I will impatiently wait for the next book and the next!

*Thanks to Revell Books for providing a copy for review.*

This book could not be any better. It is easily one of my favorite novels I have read in the last year. Here’s why:
■There is tension from the very first sentence, making it hard to stop turning the pages.
■The dilemmas for Helen and Ray are so intriguing, so believable, and yet so heart-wrenching, you just cannot help but love these characters!
■The dilagoue is smart, not cheesy. Loved it.

Blue Skies Tomorrow is in my opinion everything that a book should be. The emotional depth, the romance, the plot, the action, and adventure, is fantastic.

The plot alone makes this book stand out, I could go on and on for hours about how well done this book was plotted out. The historic settings were rich, and authentic. The history was woven into the story with great care. I think Ms. Sundin got the balance perfectly. The writing and dialog were excellent, I lost myself in the story. There were...more

This is the third installment of Wings of Glory. I read the first, Memory Between Us and found it surprising.

Sarah Sundin not only provides a well written Christian fiction story but she also addresses very difficult subjects, including rape. Sundin does not concentrate on the particulars nor does she shock the senses. She simply uses a protagonist who suffers the violence and the reaction from the man she loves (not the perpetrator).

This book finishes the series by giving the reader closure. The first two books were about the younger two Novak boys, Walt and Jack. At last we reach Ray, the most empathetic and lovable of the three. Okay, I can't really judge because I didn't read Walt's story. Ah, well. Ray is dreamy and I am in love with him, myself.

The love interest is Helen Carlisle, war widow of Jim. The expectation I had was that Ray would have to compete with Helen's dead husband's ghost, beatified with his death. As per Sundin's M.O., the expected is not what you get. Helen has secrets about her late husband. She was giddy when he died, leaving her widowed and single parenting his child. Still, times being what they were, women were barely entering the workforce and she found supporting herself and her son to be difficult. She makes difficult choices and sometimes chooses poorly. Burdened with guilt and shame, she feels undeserving of anything good in her life.

Meanwhile, Ray enters Helen's life. Ray helps Helen through friendship but this is not what he really wants. On the other hand, he wants to respect Helen's grieving period, not understanding how over she is her late husband. They fight and Ray joins the Army to fight the Germans. Once again, the story takes twists and turns that are unexpected and add conflict and interest.

Sundin stays constant with her storytelling. The boys do meet back up in England after Jack crashes in the channel. Conversations are recreated and characters introduced with the same traits as the other books. This was a lot of fun for me to remember Ruth and Jack.

Warning: The ending is a little cheesy. I like cheesy. I enjoyed a good, clean read with realistic trials for the characters to overcome - shame, guilt, domestic abuse, racism, corrupt justice system. And I love to read a well written book with hope, faith, and lives changing as they trust God.(less)

He'll never feel like he'll measure up to the men his two brothers, Jack and Walt are, especially when his father and grandfather drops subtle hints, unaware how those are perceived by Ray.

Jack and Walt have been serving in the war effort in England in the U.S. Eighth Air Force, as fighter pilots. Now that Walt was injured his knowledge of planes is serving the Allied forces well as an engineer. Jack remains in charge of the US troops and their deployment missions as pilots in England.

However, Ray is afraid. He isn't prepared to deal with combat missions when he has been spending his time training men as pilots. Now that they want to use the training positions as rewards for pilots returning from combat missions, Ray's been assigned to supplies. Not a very glorified position considering his younger brothers military careers. Even though he feels his calling is to God's pulpit, he can't help fight the feelings battling within.

Helen Carlisle has spent the last year as a grieving widow for her husband who was a casualty of the war in the Pacific. Left with her son, Jay-Jay, Helen is trying to find a way to deal with her inner demons that are keeping her prisoner. Living in a house that she rents from the Carlisle's, she will do whatever she can to prevent the memory of her husband, Jim from being tarnished as a war hero in town.

When Helen has a bike accident while running errands as a Red Cross Volunteer, Ray Novak is there to rescue her as her knight in shining armor. Confused by her feelings she has had for Ray as a child, writing stories about Sir Raymond, rescuing the Princess Helen, she finds a real friendship in him now that they have grown up.

During the time they spend together, they find they care for one another more than just friends would, and despite her strong feelings for Ray, Helen is being asked by the Carlisle's to pursue a relationship with Vic Llewellyn instead. Yet despite her attempts to tell Vic she isn't interested, he maintains a constant vigil in asking Helen for a date. The last thing Helen imagines is marrying Vic Llewellyn. Imagine, Helen Llewellyn???

I received Blue Skies Tomorrow by Susan Sundin, compliments of Litfuse Publicity for my honest review, and being a huge WWII fan, I couldn't wait to see how this one would play out. It will not disappoint. Helen hide a huge secret that if exposed will change how the town will see it's hero changed and she wants to provide her son, Jay-Jay with a great father figure. It's only when this secret rises to involve more than Helen, that it must be brought into the light of God's truth for all to see.

What will the town think of Helen? Will she be able to protect her son, Jay-Jay from the most prominent family in town the Carlisle's? Will she be able to find the love of a man, who can love her despite all the pain she holds inside? Well, you'll just need to pick up the latest in the Wings of Glory series, Blue Skies Tomorrow, which is book three. Hands down, I LOVED every moment of it. Like a full-length movie that is so good your sad when the final credits roll, so you'll be when you turn the final page. Sarah Sundin does a great job engaging the reader from being a pilot of a B-17 bomber in England flying dangerous combat missions, to living at home, fundraising and running blood drives amid the shortages cause by the war efforts and living off ration books. I award this book a full 5 out of 5 stars and can't wait to go back and read the beginning books in this series!!(less)

Sarah Sundin’s book, Blue Skies Tomorrow, is her best book yet! Set in late 1944 Antioch, CA, and Bury St. Edwards Airfield, Suffolk, Sarah rolls out what appears to be an ambivalent romance due to entangled, horrific secrets and dangerous war missions.

Helen Carlisle lost her husband as a casualty of the war in the Pacific. She throws herself into war efforts’ volunteering while trying to conceal her true feelings.

Lt. Raymond Novak is stationed in Antioch, pushing paperwork after being relieved of his pilot training position because he had not served overseas, all the while wanting to be in the ministry. He’s considered a coward because of his fear of serving overseas.

Novak and Carlyle meet and sparks fly, with a passion that needed to be controlled. However, it’s an on-again, off again relationship for reasons unknown to Novak, so he joins the Air Force overseas, thinking she, too, sees him as a coward.

If you love to read about war efforts and strategic missions during WWII, Sarah has it all in her book. It’s fast-paced, with danger from all directions. The flow of the story keeps you turning the pages. Your heart is wrapped up in the personal accounts of the servicemen engaged in battle, with twists that endanger the men just when you think all is going well.

While Novak is gone, Helen has to decide if she’ll wait for him or be romanced by other men; that is, when her former father-in-law allows her to! That home life is another aspect that will keep your heart pumped with multiple feelings!

Sarah outdid herself with the romantic tension, war missions, faith issues, and Helen’s home situation. There are several twists that you don’t see coming and they explode in ways you wouldn’t imagine. Can Helen and Ray overcome the berating and dangerous obstacles, or will another steal Helen’s heart before he gets a chance to? Will his faith in God overcome what he needs to engage in?

This is the third book of Sarah’s Wings of Glory series. The first being A Distant Melody and the second A Memory Between Us. They stand alone, but you will want to read all three! Again, Blue Skies Tomorrow is the best of the three for me!

My Review

Helen Carlisle is now a widow, after her husband was killed in the military. But she wasn’t the grieving widow everyone thought she was. In fact, she was glad her husband was gone, because of his abuse, which no one would ever believe. That is until Ray came upon the scene, and he figured it out, to which Helen denied that anything bad happened between she and Jim. No one could find out about the abuse, because Jim was so nice and sweet around everyone else, not one would believe Helen....more

I know I have at times and so has the main character Helen from Blue Skies Tomorrow. Everyone expects her to be the grieving widow to the hometown hero but Helen is struggling to keep up her appearance while inside she is slowly falling apart. Things come to a peak when she meets sweet and charming Ray and he tries to discover the real Helen behind the show.

Then there is Ray who is struggling with his own insecurities and appearances and wants to prove to everyone, especially Helen, that he is not a coward.

Even though this is the third book in a series, I actually haven’t read the first two books. I feel this book could be read as stand-alone but might have been more enjoyable if I had read those first. I enjoyed reading Blue Skies Tomorrow and I was deeply enthralled in the lives of Ray and Helen. They were such genuine characters that were dealing with all these mammoth internal battles and I felt like I was literally watching them grow and unfold before my eyes!

This story left me contemplating things unlike any other story I’ve read in a long time. I kept thinking about the character Ray and his struggles with feeling like a coward. All his peers kept telling him that in order to be a real man he had to fly planes in the war instead of just teaching men to fly planes in the States. I just kept thinking about how we always put these high expectations on our men to be “manly men” and if they don’t measure up the way we think they should be label them as “cowards”. This story was very realistic I believe to the struggles of men and their identity.

I also felt the same way about Helen and her story. I could go on and on about how her struggles left me contemplating my own “show” but that would just make this review way too long! Let’s just say you can’t walk away from reading this story without deeply thinking of your own identity in God.

I know that I’m reading a good book when I’m left contemplating the story days later and I am emotional and angry at the things that I was reading. The issues that Helen was facing with her in-laws had me wanting to scream out loud and yell! Yet Sundin created a beautiful and love filled ending that left me feeling like justice was served and there really was a happily ever after.

I have to admit that although I felt this story kept me very interested in the lives of Helen and Ray there was times where I felt all the detail of the history and war made it loose it’s momentum for me but I don’t think that is going to bother everyone and it didn’t really deter me from continuing the story but I did skim over a few areas!

Overall a very thought-provoking and great story! I will be looking in to more of Sarah Sundin’s stories.

A Big Thank You to Litfuse for providing a review copy of the book. I was not obligated to provide a positive review.
