A Distant Melody

by Sarah Sundin

Paperback (422 pages), kindle
Walt and Allie meet at a wedding and their love of music draws them together, prompting them to begin a correspondence that will change their lives.

A Distant Melody

Never pretty enough to please her gorgeous mother, Allie will do anything to gain her approval -- even marry a man she doesn't love. Lt. Walter Novak -- fearless in the cockpit but hopeless with women -- takes his last furlough at home in California before being shipped overseas. Walt and Allie meet at a wedding and their love of music draws them together, prompting them to begin a correspondence that will change their lives. As letters fly between Walt's muddy bomber base in England and Allie's mansion in an orange grove, their friendship binds them together. But can they untangle the secrets, commitments, and expectations that keep them apart?

With her signature attention to detail and her talent for bringing characters together, Sarah Sundin pens another exciting tale of historical fiction set in WWII. A Distant Melody is the first book in Sarah's WINGS OF GLORY series, which follows the three Novak brothers, B-17 bomber pilots with the US Eighth Air Force stationed in England during World War II.
