Acerca de esta escucha
Three generations of indomitable women navigate life on their terms in an epic and inspiring historical novel about love and war, family secrets, and mothers and daughters finding the freedom to fly.
It’s 1943. The war rages. The newly launched WASP program is recruiting. And barnstormer fan Georgeanne “George” Ector’s dream is to take to the skies. Grit is what she inherited from her mother, an Oklahoma farm girl at the turn of the century who preferred taking apart an engine to stitching linens for a hope chest. She taught her daughter well. George isn’t the only woman about to follow her calling.
Vivian Shaw, so similar to George they’re like sisters, also longs for a career flying the fastest planes in the American arsenal. For a time, George and Vivian triumph. But at war’s end, the adventurous women are grounded by the expectations of others: to get married, have children, and raise a family. Vivian has other plans. So, eventually, do George’s daughters, Ruth and Ivy, who embark on very different paths of their own.
Three generations of women staring down a vast horizon of possibilities are determined to navigate whatever comes their way—from the hardships of war and home to love and loss, and to the fallout of a long-held secret that could change their lives forever.

“Smart, immersive, and moving, American Sky is a gorgeously crafted story of heart, determination, family and friendship, and kick-ass women. Buckle up for a spectacular ride!”—Sara Ackerman, USA Today bestselling author of Radar Girls
“A love of flying becomes the bond that ties, and the force that threatens to destroy, the lives of three generations of American women. In American Sky, Carolyn Dasher delivers an emotional and page-turning novel full of rich, nuanced characters and complex relationships, set against some of the major moments in 20th Century American history. Fans of Kristen Hannah will love this beautifully told, multi-generational exploration of female friendship, family secrets, and the meaning of motherhood. A terrific debut about my favorite subject: strong women taking their place in a man’s world, that will satisfy both anyone who loves relationship-driven stories with multi-faceted characters and historical fiction that makes you feel like you are living the story. Bravo!”—Samantha Greene Woodruff, bestselling author of The Lobotomist’s Wife and The Trade Off

Historia
By the end of 1943, nearly all of Europe’s Jewish population had fled, been deported, captured, or killed by Hitler. Only Hungary, and its almost 900,000 Jews, remained free from Hitler’s subjugation. They lived under government edicts and restrictions but without fear of harm. That changed in March 1944, after the Nazi defeat at Stalingrad, as an avaricious Hitler conquered Hungary and declared his plan for mass extermination of the Jewish people. With the notorious Adolf Eichmann supervising the process, Nazis began rounding up Hungary’s Jewish population.

Historia
This book weaves together stories of the many dogs Elias has been lucky enough to know, both in his personal life and while doing his Dogist work. Told in a light tone that does not shy away from more serious issues (Elias is not above the occasional sentimental moment or dog pun), this book charmingly explores the ways that dogs are not just our family and our friends but also irreplaceable beings capable of generating boundless love and restoring balance to our lives.
