Broken Wings

“The truth is always fitting.”

In Dianne Price's Broken Wings, Rob Savage faces a new truth. A disabling injury might have destroyed his dreams of flying in the American Air Forces. As he struggles to find new meaning to life now that his movements are restricted, he discovers his largest source of encouragement might be taken from him. Will his muscles and nerves regenerate, allowing him to walk once more? Or will he be permanently confined to a wheelchair—and unable to continue serving his country? Will he discover that the truth of God's love can conquer the struggles he faces? Or will he give up hope when his past revives hurts he thought he'd long since buried?

Broken Wings is the first of a six book series written by the late Dianne Price. It's written with beautiful prose and a generous heart. Though it contains more than the customary two or three points of view, the story unfolds seamlessly and keeps the reader hooked chapter after chapter. Often leaving me hanging right when I needed to stop reading and get chores done, Broken Wings sneaked into my heart and left me wanting more. I can hardly wait until the next book in the Thistle Series comes out!

Though the folks at Ashberry Lane burned the midnight oil to get Broken Wings published as quickly as possible, Dianne Price died from terminal cancer a week before its release date. She loved writing and made several yearly trips to the Outer Hebrides Isles of Scotland, where both her husband's clan (MacDonalds) and her own (Galbraiths) originated. Those trips inspired the fictional island of Innisbraw, first introduced in Broken Wings, and her Thistle Series. I hope you take the time to read the first book in this series. It's sure to whet your appetite for a little Scottish culture and the adventures of Rob Savage and Maggie McGrath.
