If My Heart Had Wings by Nadine Taylor

If My Heart Had Wings by Nadine Taylor

What if you found an old forgotten picture of your mother marrying a man who wasn't your dad? And it led to your mother revealing the riveting and tragic WWII love story of her first marriage, a star-crossed romance that never really ended...? It's Winds of War meets The Key

Superb A wonderful story of devotion and tough times... - C. Paul Hilliard, Vice Chairman, Board of Trustees, National World War II Museum

I found the U.S. Army Air Force wartime missions fascinating, especially the treacherous Hump flights over the Himalayan mountains to resupply Chinese and U.S. operations. - Vicki Hill, San Francisco Book Review

It's 1943 and World War II is raging when 22-year-old Nina Raff learns that her Army pilot husband has been killed while transporting supplies over the Himalayas. To escape her grief, she instantly quits her job, moves across the country, and totally changes her life.

When the war ends, Nina connects with a man she hardly knows and finds herself plunged into a dysfunctional marriage. Her alcoholic husband won't allow any talk of her first marriage, so the past stays buried for the next twenty years... until her teenage daughter finds a picture of Nina as a bride and starts asking questions.

Yielding to her daughter's burning curiosity, Nina finally reveals the story of her passionate first love and heartbreaking loss, and her struggle to rebuild her life - a story of love and war that binds mother and daughter together and has surprising ramifications for both in the decades to come.

One of the great love stories of World War II, If My Heart Had Wings is an in-depth look at love and war, the futility of running from grief, the cost of a hasty re-marriage, a strong woman's journey to reclaim her identity, and the everlasting bonds of true love.

A deeply moving tribute, meticulously researched and engaging from start to finish.

...a rare and honest glimpse into the author's family, the secrets they kept, the struggles they encountered, and the hard-won answers that finally brought about peace and resolution...

A truly wonderful account of the life (and death) of one of our young American pilots and the life that happened to his young widow. Definitely worth reading

... a loving tribute to family, first love and finding one's roots. Well written and edited, this was a joy to read

I recommend this to anyone who likes World War II tales and stories about strong women who never give in to adversity.
