No one is more surprised than Kathy when she receives an invitation from Lady Fitzosborne for some weekend festivities. Usually, such invitations are extended to her more attractive two sisters. She prepares to make herself useful and instead manages to catch the eye of a Portuguese aristocrat. The mystery man woos her, setting off events almost too dreamy to be true. Yet as their relationship deepens, Kathy soon discovers that there is more to the man than meets the eye.

Jesus is truly the author of my story. He has been my light and my guide through the dark tunnel of suffering and pain. The pain and suffering a parent encounters when faced with the death of a child is truly unbearable. The ability to cope with the grief of such loss is beyond human endurance. My journey through that valley experience was so horrific and so dark it devastated my soul. The pain of my loss crushed my spirit. I was able to cope only through the strength of God’s mercy, grace, and love. He was with me every step of the way. Through every twist and every turn of that long and narrow path, he never left me alone. God is truly omnipresent. He is everywhere! No matter how deep the pain, no matter how dark the night, we are never lost from his loving presence nor from his comfort and care. The heart of his mercy tenderly carries us “on the wings of the morning.” Psalm 139:9–10 says, “If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; Even there shall Thy hand lead me, and Thy right hand shall hold me fast.” God has his very own unique way of restoring and healing broken hearts. He is able! Even in the mist of brokenness and sorrow, he is able to grant joy.
Wings of the Morning is an adventure story of Africa spanning sixty years and three generations. Five university friends - the Oxford Five - become life-long friends, their lives moulded by drama and romance as they set off on different paths but reunite to pursue a shared ideal, to establish a new model country in West Africa - Millennium - in the dawn of the 21st century. A marvellous cast of characters includes the five key characters, their loves and families, whose fate is inextricably entwined; the experts and entrepreneurs who are essential for the enterprise; and the villains who do everything they can to derail 'Project Zero'. Steeped in intrigue and adventure, Julian Beale, with first-hand experience of Africa, has written a marvellous, fast flowing and exciting saga in the bestselling tradition of Wilbur Smith.
“A gripping, evocative read that will set your heart to soaring into the turbulent skies of WWII” from the New York Times–bestselling author (Debbie Macomber). Morgan Glennon’s destiny points straight up into Oklahoma’s clear, blue sky. It’s been that way since he was four years old, imagining the famous flier father he’s never met. Morgan leaves college to enlist as a Navy pilot, and his whole world suddenly changes when America goes to war. Watching his friends fall in battle, robs Morgan of the joy he always felt in the air. It will take one very unusual woman to help him get it back . . . Georgia Jean Carter learned early never to rely on a man for anything but trouble. Airplanes are different: they take a girl places most boyfriends can’t. Remarkably, the war makes it possible for Georgia to do her part as a pilot. Flying with the WASPs brings a special sense of belonging—yet there’s something missing that Georgia doesn’t recognize until a brief encounter sets her dreaming about a young flyboy she barely knows . . . “An uplifting and spirit-nurturing read.” —Fresh Fiction “Bostwick does an excellent job of telling the story of the WASP.” —Library Journal “A one-of-a-kind find, the sort of book that completely transports you to another place in time.” —RT Book Reviews “[A] solid WWII era romance . . . Bostwick fills out their destinies satisfyingly and delivers tempting brushes with intimacy at all the right moments before the end-of-war denouement.” —Publishers Weekly
