About
Phyllis Marie stood slim, petite, and pretty, with stunning green eyes that became more emerald with each passing year, her porcelain-white skin turned rosy-cheeked from the cold Idaho wind. She turned twenty-four on the twelfth of September. Six thousand miles away in England, Perry received a brand new Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress, wrapped like a birthday present, her two-tone fuselage in olive green above and drab gray below, sporting the newly modified national insignia-a white star and crossbar against a blue field. On the tail, above her serial number 230713 in yellow, to match the rudder, she carried the 390th insignia, a black J against a white Square. He named his airplane Phyllis Marie.

"Phyllis Marie is an ambitious novel that makes a powerful statement about perseverance, courage, and the power of love and loyalty in a chaotic world. I was caught up in the complexity of the intertwined plots; the emotional and religious connections among families through the generations; the force of Perry's dream and the strength of his character; and Phyllis Marie, who binds them all together
