Kay has a group of boyfriends and she's proud of it. Her father has labeled her as evil, so she might as well embrace the role. She wants to be a chief nurse, but to get a recommendation to get into the program, she might have to change her ways.
Roger is a drummer. He wants to be in a big band someday, but he also has a hidden dream of being a teacher. His family has always told him that he won't amount to anything, so he doesn't believe it's possible. He has a reputation of being sloppy in his work and unreliable, but he's trying to change.
At first, Kay believes Roger to be more of a holy-roller, but when she talks to him, she finds out he has a past as well. He gives her a prized possession, his Bible complete with notes, and they form a close friendship. With his past, Roger has decided to only date if he wants to get married and hasn't felt the need to try it. Until now.
When their flight is shot down, these two get close, but Roger still has his issues that lead to misunderstandings. After weeks trying to escape from behind enemy lines, they come to rely on each other.
This was a great story with a lot of depth. These two misunderstand each other on a number of occasions, which got a bit tedious, but it did reflect the lack of confidence they felt in themselves. Mellie and Georgie from the other two books are around a lot, but if you really wanted to, I suppose you could read these out of order. However, I would recommend reading them in order if you could, since you'll get a more continuous, complete story. Good Book!
