Summary
Kathy Begley is an empty-nester, the primary caretaker of her ailing mother, and the emotional support for her laid-off husband. She's also returning to the office after two decades to work under a borderline-inappropriate boss. When a Congressional Gold Medal Ceremony invitation arrives, she uncovers an unfathomable family secret: her mother, Peggy Mayfield, wasn't just a tempestuous wife and mother: she was a Woman Airforce Service Pilot. Jumping at the opportunity to become a WASP, the first American women to fly military aircraft, Peggy wore men's uniforms, sweated, studied, trained, and soared. She also danced, drank, played poker, and fell in love with adventure, new friends, and her commanding officer
