À propos de cet audio

Numbed by grief and harboring shameful secrets, Lt. Adler Paxton ships to England with the US 357th Fighter Group in 1943. Determined to become an ace pilot, Adler battles the German Luftwaffe in treacherous dogfights in the skies over France as the Allies struggle for control of the air before the D-day invasion.

Violet Lindstrom wanted to be a missionary, but for now she serves in the American Red Cross, where she arranges entertainment for the men of the 357th in the Aeroclub on base and sets up programs for local children. Drawn to the mysterious Adler, she enlists his help with her work and urges him to reconnect with his family after a long estrangement.

Despite himself, Adler finds his defenses crumbling when it comes to Violet. But D-day draws near. And secrets can't stay buried forever.

Best-selling author Sarah Sundin returns listeners to the shores of Normandy, this time in the air, as the second Paxton brother prepares to face the past - and the most fearsome battle of his life.

Excellent time pieces that have so far left my mouth hanging open at twists that I did not expect. Can’t wait to listen to the third book in the series!

Absolutely loving this series

The second book in the sunrise at Normandy series is a gripping and inspiring sequel to the first book, The Sea Before Us. I appreciate the rich and full character development of her lead characters as well as the wrestling they do with needs or lacks within their Christian faith. The story was inspiring for me for my own faith walk. The author’s knowledge of WW2 facts, including D-Day, is top-notch and it was great learning more about the war as she wove these details seamlessly into the story. Once again she created a book that enlightens, is gripping, encourages and warms the heart. It’s such a treat to read her books!
I must also say that the narration by Sarah Zimmerman is top-notch and creates even more depth to the story as one can more fully relate to each character. The two Sarah’s are an unbeatable team!

Totally gripping and inspiring story!

No matter what I say in this review, I can't begin to do justice to the magic of Sarah Sundin's storytelling. And this time, I listened to the audio version which enhanced my enjoyment even more. It kinda felt like I had traveled back in time to the 1940s and was huddled next to my radio absorbing every precious word of a serial installment broadcasting over the BBC. The historical ambience is over-the-moon delectable! Being forced back into my 21st century reality got just plain annoying when I had to do real life stuff. Much preferred hanging out with Violet and Adler.

Sundin creates images with her words -- from the every day details of life on an Air Force base to the nail-biting, action-packed aerial fight scenes to the emotionally charged romantic entanglements of a hero and heroine trying to make sense out of the challenges they face.

And what a story! The way it unfolds and builds is sheer perfection. Sarah Sundin is one of my favourite authors because she doesn't shy away from including realistic, transforming faith threads and the inspiration in this book is heart-stopping! It gave me pause, had me grappling and reassessing situations in my own life and I so love being challenged by my fiction!

So, in case you haven't clued in by now -- I rather liked (scratch that -- LOVED) The Sky Above Us. Highly recommended. Really, I'd kind of like to bully everyone into reading it but that would be wrong...even if y'all thanked me for it later. :-)

Beyond Amazing!

The American Airforce was vital to D-Day. The same as many other countries like Canada. The author makes you feel like you're the cockpit actually flying the planes protecting the bombers. Even the story and the family dynamics throughout, is fine impressively.
