February Giveaway: Flygirl by Sherri L. Smith



Yay! My second giveaway. This time I am giving away five copies of Flygirl by Sherri L. Smith! I haven't read the book yet, but I have heard SO many amazing things, I am super jealous of whoever wins!


Make sure to check out Sherri's website and myspace page. I have heard great things about her!


Flygirl by Sherry L. Smith


Ida Mae Jones dreams of flight. Her daddy was a pilot and being black didn't stop him from fulfilling his dreams. But her daddy's gone now, and being a woman, and being black, are two strikes against her.

When America enters the war with Germany and Japan, the Army creates the WASP, the Women's Airforce Service Pilots-and Ida suddenly sees a way to fl y as well as do something signifi cant to help her brother stationed in the Pacific. But even the WASP won't accept her as a black woman, forcing Ida Mae to make a difficult choice of "passing," of pretending to be white to be accepted into the program. Hiding one's racial heritage, denying one's family, denying one's self is a heavy burden. And while Ida Mae chases her dream, she must also decide who it is she really wants to be.


Yeah, I agree with you, it sounds fabulous. Here are the ways to enter.

    Your original post says "Contest will end on Monday, February 2nd." Did this change? When will you announce the winners? Did you mean March 2?
