Items related to Eyes on the Stars
Jessie Keaton and Claudia Sherwood were as different as night and day. But when their nation needed experienced female pilots, their reactions were identical: heed the call. In early 1943, the two women joined the Women Airforce Service Pilots-WASP-and reported to Avenger Field in Sweetwater, Texas, where they promptly fell head-over-heels in love.
The life of a WASP was often perilous by definition. Being two women in love added another layer of complication entirely, leading to ostracism and worse. Like many others, Jessie and Claudia hid their relationship, going on dates with men to avert suspicion. The ruse worked well until one seemingly innocent afternoon ruined everything.
Two lives tragically altered. Two hearts ripped apart. And a second chance more than fifty years in the making. From the airfields of World War II, to the East Room of the Obama White House, follow the lives of two extraordinary women whose love transcends time and place.

Review:
FROM THE LESBIAN READING ROOM
This is, without a shadow of a doubt, one of the best historical romances I have read.
Exceptionally well written and structured the book flows effortlessly between 1943 and the present.
This book will always be on my re-read shelf. It is impossible not to feel every emotion of these complex characters.
An exceptional history of women's hidden service and a heartbreaking romance, "Eyes on the Stars' tops Lynn Ames' previous works - no mean feat for a celebrated and justly praised author and a first class storyteller.
