Note: This is a new, unread book.

World War II unites six extraordinary young flight nurses who face the trials of war, its heartbreaks, and triumphs as unsung heroes in this inspiring novel by #1 New York Times bestselling author Danielle Steel.

Audrey Parker's world is irrevocably changed when Pearl Harbor is attacked on December 7, 1941. Her brother, a promising young Navy pilot, was stationed there, ready to uphold their late father's distinguished legacy.

Freshly graduated from nursing school, Audrey and her friend Lizzie are propelled by a shared passion for helping others and find themselves on the brink of war. Determined to serve, they enlist in the Army and begin their journey as flight nurses.

Risking their lives on dangerous missions, they join the elite Medical Air Evacuation Transport Squadron, flying into enemy territory almost daily to rescue wounded soldiers from the battlefield.

Audrey and Lizzie, along with an extraordinary group of women—Alex, who aspires to make a difference; Louise, who has battled racial prejudice in the South; Pru, a selfless leader with a heart of gold; and Emma, whose confidence and grit drive her to risk everything for her patients—make immense sacrifices to save lives.

Despite knowing they won't gain any rank or receive significant pay, the "Flying Angels" give their all in the fight for freedom. Serving as bravely and tirelessly as the men they rescue on the front lines, they perform daring airlifts and are eternally bonded by their loyalty to one another. Danielle Steel delivers a sweeping tribute to these incredibly courageous women, symbols of bravery and valor.
