Gilbert Morris was one of today's best-known Christian novelists. He lived in Gulf Shores, Alabama, with his wife, Johnnie. He is the father to Lynn Morris and Alan Morris
This book is a good story set during the Roaring Twenties about a missionary kid who when she gets older is betrayed by the man that she thought that she loved. She escapes to America where she waits tables at a cafe while waiting for a change to use her flying skills. She meets up with Quaid Merritt who was a flyer in World War I and they form their own air show. This is a good book with a good message in it and you do see some of the other characters in other books.
This series by Gilbert Morris is one of my absolute favorites. Each book follows at least one member of a generation in the Winslow family tree and the member(s) gets saved and finds true love. There's also some commentary on the social conditions of the time frame. Truly interesting.
This is the last book in the series that I own and probably the last I read. The series started to seem "never ending" and when I stopped reading this was one of the last books out. I kinda lost interest in the series and will probably never finish it though it was good, especially in the beginning. I remember some of the earlier books better than the later ones and I think I started reading the series in 5th grade and into high school.
