Synopsis
For fans of Unbroken and Ruta Sepetys. All Ida Mae Jones wants to do is fly. Her daddy was a pilot, and years after his death she feels closest to him when she's in the air. But as a young black woman in 1940s Louisiana, she knows the sky is off limits to her, until America enters World War II, and the Army forms the WASP-Women Airforce Service Pilots. Ida has a chance to fulfill her dream if she's willing to use her light skin to pass as a white girl. She wants to fly more than anything, but Ida soon learns that denying one's self and family is a heavy burden, and ultimately it's not what you do but who you are that's most important.

    Unfortunately the item arrived broken. The seller has reached out to me & we’re trying to resolve this issue. I loved the jar. The description was perfect, the shipping g time was reasonable & although I thought the shipping was a little on the high side I realize everything is going up.
