Casey and I are so excited about this book!

When We Had Wings is written by three authors, Ariel Lawhon, Kristina McMorris and Susan Meissner. I stole this from Casey so I could read it first and I can’t wait to get started. We are so thankful to @tlcbooktours for sending us this advanced reader’s copy! Be sure to check out our TikTok account and our Amazon Storefront!

Here is the synopsis: “The Philippines, 1941. When U.S. Navy nurse Eleanor Lindstrom, U.S. Army nurse Penny Franklin, and Filipina nurse Lita Capel forge a friendship at the Army Navy Club in Manila, they believe they’re living a paradise assignment. All three are seeking a way to escape their pasts, but soon the beauty and promise of their surroundings give way to the heavy mantle of war. Caught in the crosshairs of a fight between the U.S. military and the Imperial Japanese Army for control of the Philippine Islands, the nurses are forced to serve under combat conditions and, ultimately, endure captivity as the first female prisoners of the Second World War. As their resiliency is tested in the face of squalid living arrangements, food shortages, and the enemy’s blatant disregard for the articles of the Geneva Convention, the women strive to keep their hope— and their fellow inmates—alive, though not without great cost.”
