O knihe

While trying to discover who's sabotaging their work, five women are cast down a rabbit hole of espionage, intrigue, and the attempted murder of two fellow workers. Could it be the inspector, a supervisor, or a person they work with every day? This story is about a small group of women who work together in an airplane factory based on actual on-the-job events. In sisterhood, they experience romance, love, sexual abuse, alcoholism, and control while working together in a "man's world". And who's the preacher, the lesbian or of royal blood? On the job, they share great laugh-out-loud humor, along with some tear-jerking, heart-wrenching times, while trying to find who's sabotaging the airplanes they build. However, during all these immense concerns, these gals still need to earn a paycheck and do anything to get that damned plane built. Well, almost anything. "Sharp, funny, tragic and fun. A great read; romance and scandal, espionage, and sabotage: everything a good historical fiction novel should have. The writer has a sharp wit and a keen sense of sarcasm," Christopher Bailey, author of the Starjumper Legacy. "(Lady) Jane drew off not just her personal experience at Boeing, but her mom, one of the 'Rosie the Riveters' who forged the way to be accepted into a "man's" workplace during World War Two." C. Kelliher, editor; Aero Mechanic District 751 newspaper, read by aerospace workers worldwide. "Women's fiction? The story reads like actual life. From hilarious one-liner humor to intense heartbreaks, this was a terrific emotional ride." J. Carol Johnson, author of The Lonely Life of a Pornographer's Wife.
