Book Recommendation: Nothing But Sky

This story is as beautiful as it’s cover. It sends the reader soaring through the clouds, takes us back down to Earth, and through the trauma of heartache. It is as much a love story about flying as it is about relationships.

Grace Lafferty only feels alive when she’s dangling 500 feet above ground. As a post-World War I wing walker, Grace is determined to get to the World Aviation Expo, proving her team’s worth against flashier competitors and earning a coveted Hollywood contract.

No one’s ever questioned Grace’s ambition until Henry Patton, a mechanic with plenty of scars from the battlefield, joins her barnstorming team. With each new death-defying trick, Henry pushes Grace to consider her reasons for being a daredevil. Annoyed with Henry’s constant interference, and her growing attraction to him, Grace continues to test the powers of the sky.

After one of her risky maneuvers saves a pilot’s life, a Hollywood studio offers Grace a chance to perform at the Expo. She jumps at the opportunity to secure her future. But when a stunt goes wrong, Grace must decide whether Henry, and her life, are worth risking for one final trick.

The author transported the reader to 1922 and the world of barnstorming. The details of the planes and setting were incredible and I was fascinated to learn about this part of history. My heart flew as Grace’s did every time the plane lifted off the ground knowing Grace represented actual stunt women.

But what I loved most about this story were the characters. Each one was so well developed with personality and his/her storyline, any one of them could star in their own novel. Grace, who kept everyone together with her strength, determination, and love, was the perfect main character. I was excited to read about a young woman who wouldn’t let anyone or anything keep her from her dreams.
