Sinopsis

In "Dorothy Dixon Wins Her Wings," Dorothy Wayne crafts a compelling narrative that melds adventure and coming-of-age themes within the context of early 20th-century aviation. Through the eyes of a spirited young girl, Dorothy Dixon, readers are taken on an inspiring journey that captures the essence of determination and the quest for identity amidst societal constraints. Wayne's prose is evocative and vibrant, filled with rich descriptions that vividly depict both the exhilaration of flight and the personal triumphs and tribulations that accompany it, reflecting the era's burgeoning fascination with aviation and the emergence of women in traditionally male-dominated fields. Dorothy Wayne, herself an avid aviation enthusiast and advocate for women's rights, draws from her own experiences to imbue the narrative with authenticity and depth. Born during a time when opportunities for women were limited, Wayne's passion for aviation and belief in gender equality serve as the backbone of this uplifting tale. Her extensive research and understanding of the historical context further enhance the story, making it not just a journey of flight but a commentary on women'Äôs empowerment. This book is highly recommended for readers who appreciate historical fiction infused with themes of courage and resilience. "Dorothy Dixon Wins Her Wings" promises an engaging exploration of personal discovery that resonates with both young adults and those young at heart, cementing Dorothy Wayne's place in the literary canon as a voice for aspiring women everywhere.

Auschwitz, January 1945. Forced on a terrifying death march from the notorious concentration camp, midwife and former secret agent Maggie must find the strength to protect the tiny baby girl her dying friend left in her care. Only weeks old, little Leah is in terrible danger—from the Nazis, from the freezing weather, from starvation. So when a company of soldiers led by brave Captain Jamie Maclean rescues the marching women, Maggie’s relief knows no bounds. But it soon turns to astonishment when Jamie vows to help Maggie reunite Leah with her father—he has fallen in love with Maggie and will do everything in his power to assist her. Maggie can’t yet trust her own budding feelings. But she accepts Jamie’s help and slowly starts to dream of a life together—until Maggie gets the news every survivor dreads. The most fearsome Nazi of all, Dr. Mengele, the terror of Auschwitz, has escaped—and she may be the only person strong enough to track him down. Looking at baby Leah’s trusting eyes, Maggie’s heart is torn. But she has to find Mengele and bring him to justice. Can she succeed on the most terrifying mission of her life when so many others have failed? And if she does, will she find her way back home to the ones she loves, or will the heartbreak of everything she has suffered destroy any chance of happiness forever?

Death before dishonor. 
It's the most important rule and the easiest to break. 
Riding with the Knightdale Charter isn't my first choice. But home is where you go when you leave your heart in a pine box. Grief is like a magnet, and I'm surrounded by shadows. Living life among the darkness, just like her. 
She's buried an even bigger piece of herself than I have. 
And all she wants is to finally find the light. 
If we had any sense at all, we'd steer clear of each other. 
But I'd rather feel anything than nothing at all. 
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust. 
When is it love and not just lust? Don't ask me. I'm a disgrace no matter what.
