Jessie Keaton and Claudia Sherwood were as different as night and
day. But when their nation needed experienced female pilots, their
reactions were identical: heed the call. In early 1943, the two
women joined the Women Airforce Service Pilots-WASP-and reported to
Avenger Field in Sweetwater, Texas, where they promptly fell
head-over-heels in love. The life of a WASP was often perilous by
definition. Being two women in love added another layer of
complication entirely, leading to ostracism and worse. Like many
others, Jessie and Claudia hid their relationship, going on dates
with men to avert suspicion. The ruse worked well until one
seemingly innocent afternoon ruined everything. Two lives
tragically altered. Two hearts ripped apart. And a second chance
more than fifty years in the making. From the airfields of World
War II, to the East Room of the Obama White House, follow the lives
of two extraordinary women whose love transcends time and place.
