Spotlight – Radar Girls by Sara Ackerman

Hello Everyone!

Today I’m bringing you a spotlight for Radar Girls by Sara Ackerman. I was fortunate enough to receive an uncorrected proof of this book from Harper Collins Canada on Friday, and I’m very excited to add this book to my August TBR. This book was released today, and if you’re interested in historical fiction, this sounds like a great title to check out! 

Radar GirlsAbout the Book (From Goodreads): Daisy Wilder prefers the company of horses to people, bare feet and salt water to high heels and society parties. Then, in the dizzying aftermath of the attack on Pearl Harbor, Daisy enlists in a top secret program, replacing male soldiers in a war zone for the first time. Under fear of imminent invasion, the WARDs guide pilots into blacked-out airstrips and track unidentified planes across Pacific skies.  

But not everyone thinks the women are up to the job, and the new recruits must rise above their differences and work side by side despite the resistance and heartache they meet along the way. With America’s future on the line, Daisy is determined to prove herself worthy. And with the man she’s falling for out on the front lines, she cannot fail. From radar towers on remote mountaintops to flooded bomb shelters, she’ll need her new team when the stakes are highest. Because the most important battles are fought—and won—together.

This inspiring and uplifting tale of pioneering, unsung heroines vividly transports the reader to wartime Hawaii, where one woman’s call to duty leads her to find courage, strength and sisterhood.
