Title: Written On The Wind Genre: Inspirational/Historical/Romance Written On The Wind is the first book in the Daughters of Fortune series. Judith Pella has captured the heart of America in this enthralling World War Two saga about the three daughters of newspaper mogul, Keagan Hayes. The trio has grown up knowing their father wanted sons, not daughters, and each works to prove herself to him in hopes of being loved and accepted. Personality differences and life choices cause each woman's journey to take a different path. Is reconciliation possible with their indifferent, chauvinistic father or will their path to acceptance and love lead them far from home, never to return? Following in her father's footsteps, Cameron Hayes became a journalist. But working for her father's newspaper has brought little reward and few opportunities for a female rookie reporter in 1941. Not wanting people to think she is riding her father's coat tails, Cameron goes to work for a rival newspaper. She is ecstatic when her new job lands her in Europe as a war correspondent. Her writing improves as her compassion for the suffering, war-torn people grows. And Cameron, the woman who thought she'd never marry, finds her heart being pulled between two men ? a dynamic fellow journalist and a handsome Russian doctor. Blair Hayes and her father have never gotten along. She fights Keagan Hayes' indifference by drinking and living a wild lifestyle, much to his embarrassment. When she fails to reach her goal of becoming an actress, Blair signs a contract to sing in a nightclub. But life on-stage isn't what she imagined, and she is disillusioned and frustrated with her life. When Blair meets a kind, caring soldier, she jumps at the chance to get to know him better. Blair begins to build her dream life with her soldier, but when he learns the truth, will her house of lies collapse? Jackie Hayes is the youngest of the three girls. Because of her gentle and quiet nature, she gets along best with her volatile father. But what happens when she crosses him for the first time? Judith Pella has once again tapped her limitless resource of talent and penned a fascinating story that will tug at your heart and keep you engrossed for hours. History lovers and Pella fans will find Written On The Wind very difficult to put down. Be sure to catch the continuing story of the Hayes women in Somewhere A Song, book two in the Daughters of Fortune series. | |
