This book was inspired by the real WARDS (Women's Air Raid Defense) which was a top secret program replacing male soldiers in the war zone during WWII. Daisy Wilder loves horses more than people until the attack on Pearl Harbor. She joins the WARDS which many people resist but Daisy is determined to prove her worth. This book transports the reader to wartime Hawaii. It is a tale of pioneering unsung heroines and I enjoyed reading about the women's courage, strength and sisterhood. I look forward to reading another book by Sara Ackerman as her books are about strong women. I would recommend this book to those who like to read a captivating story with a little bit of romance.
