The Sky Above Us by Sarah Sundin

Numbed by grief and harboring shameful secrets, Lt. Adler Paxton ships to England with the US 357th Fighter Group in 1943. Determined to become an ace pilot, Adler battles the German Luftwaffe in treacherous dogfights in the skies over France as the Allies struggle for control of the air before the D-day invasion.

Violet Lindstrom wanted to be a missionary, but for now she serves in the American Red Cross, where she arranges entertainment for the men of the 357th in the Aeroclub on base and sets up programs for local children. Drawn to the mysterious Adler, she enlists his help with her work and urges him to reconnect with his family after a long estrangement.

Despite himself, Adler finds his defenses crumbling when it comes to Violet. But D-day draws near. And secrets can't stay buried forever.

This is the second book in the Sunrise at Normandy series.  It's not necessary to read the first book but it would be really helpful to understand the Paxton brothers. 

Adler is running away from his sins and his brothers.  Violet wants to be a missionary.  She doesn't care where.  They meet up on a transport on the way to England and become friends.  Adler meets God in the sky while fighting the Germans.  Violet has to decide if God is calling her to missions or if it is her Aunt Violet.  This book also tells part of the story of the invasion of Normandy. 

I enjoyed reading this book and look forward to Clay's story.

I was given this book by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.  I was not compensated in any way.
