For the men of the Army Air Corps in early World War II, the chance of surviving the obligatory twenty-five missions without death, injury, or imprisonment was one in three. In this groundbreaking book, Rob Morris has sought out remarkable but little-known stories of the air war from the men who lived and fought it. Based on hundreds of interviews with American veterans and their families, Untold Valor illuminates the courage of airmen whose exploits have until now remained untold. Read about Jewish aviators’ experiences as POWs in German camps. Learn about American airmen who were imprisoned, even killed, by the neutral Swiss and about two Air Corps enlisted men who changed U.S. policy toward liberated concentration camp survivors. Also discover the unusual story of Luftwaffe commander Herman Goering’s nephew, who flew B-17 missions against Germany. While some of the stories cover major events, most are about incidents and individuals misrepresented or overlooked by history books. Yet their efforts were vital, their lives forever changed. Detailed and moving, Untold Valor is certain to interest the serious air historian and the casual reader alike. With a foreword by the editor of B-17s Over Berlin.

USA Today–Bestseller: An inspiring debut novel that reminds us no wound is too deep for the healing powers of love, forgiveness, and God’s grace. When Jonathan McCalister led the Katy Tigers to the Texas State championship, everything was perfect. He had a full scholarship to play Division I football, a beautiful girlfriend, and a loving family. Nothing could go wrong―or so he thought. But while driving to a celebratory dinner, Jonathan is involved in a horrific accident that not only changes his life but alters the lives of everyone in his family. Now confined to a wheelchair and alienated from the people he loves the most, Jonathan is forced to bear the guilt of causing the accident and to live his life with little to look forward to. Years later, Jonathan meets Samantha Reid, a college student hired by his mother to be his personal assistant. What starts off as a forced pairing blossoms into a fulfilling friendship and eventually a beautiful romance. But what neither realizes is that their relationship will tear open old wounds and force them to reevaluate everything in their lives―including their love for each other.

An heiress breaks free of social conventions and attempts to solve the mystery of her father’s disappearance in 1842 Philadelphia in Cordelia Frances Biddle’s first Martha Beale mystery When her father fails to appear for lunch at their country estate, Martha Beale knows something is wrong. The family’s faithful dogs discover Lemuel Beale’s hunting rifle by the river, but there is no sign of the millionaire financier. Refusing to believe he is dead, his daughter—and sole heir—begins a discreet investigation with the help of the mayor’s aide, Thomas Kelman. But Philadelphia in 1842 is a dangerous place for a female, especially a twenty-six-year-old single woman. Martha’s quest for answers takes her from the pinnacle of high society, which is abuzz about a visiting European conjurer who communicates with the dead, to the city’s tragic slums where a brutal killer is targeting young prostitutes—and through it all Martha will confront the most ruthless aspects of human nature. In a story deeply rooted in time and place and brimming with atmosphere and suspense, Cordelia Frances Biddle conjures a mesmerizing world of intrigue and hidden desires.
