Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - In the uneasy aftermath of Pearl Harbor, four women from vastly different worlds answer an unexpected call to service-joining a classified radar operation tasked with protecting the Pacific coast. Known as the Women's Air Raid Defense (WARD), the unit operates in secrecy, demanding precision, endurance, and unshakable resolve. CJ Martino, an outspoken journalist from New Jersey, arrives eager to make her mark, only to confront censorship and skepticism that threaten her professional identity. Ruth, the wife of a Navy officer, quietly bears profound loss as she searches for meaning beyond the role society has assigned to her. Jane, a fearless Texas pilot, aches for the freedom of flight but finds herself grounded by military restrictions and a husband determined to control her ambitions. Eve Russell, a polished Honolulu socialite, volunteers in defiance of expectation, discovering strength through vulnerability and service. Assigned to the 'Rascal' unit, the women work long, grueling shifts in total darkness, scanning the skies for potential threats. As the danger of invasion looms, they also confront private battles-grief, isolation, shattered dreams, and the longing for purpose in a world at war. Through shared sacrifice and growing trust, their tentative alliance deepens into a powerful bond, one that demands courage and life-altering choices from each of them.What makes this novel compelling is the author's exploration of women'sperspectives on these events.
