You Made Me Love

Mary Willis thought flying was Ellie Bradford's dream. She was wrong. When thirteen-year-old Eleanor Bradford is abandoned by her parents in the small South Carolina town of Harper's Grove, the Willis family gives her something she has never truly known: a home. And in Mary Willis, Ellie finds a love that will shape the rest of her life. As the girls grow into women, their lives begin to take different paths. Mary pursues her dream of becoming a veterinarian, while Ellie's passion for flying eventually carries her across the Atlantic, where she joins Britain's Air Transport Auxiliary during World War II. An ocean may separate them, but war has a way of revealing what matters most. As the Willis family faces Pearl Harbor, sons sent off to war, telegrams, injuries, loss, and the terrible realities emerging from Europe, Ellie and Mary slowly come to understand what has been there between them all along-and that the dreams they chased weren't their dreams after all.
