Daredevil Mittie Humphreys developed her taste for adventure on horseback, on her family's prosperous Kentucky horse farm. But her love of horses is surpassed by her passion for the thrill of the skies, especially since the dashing pilot Ames first took her up in his plane. When handsome British aviator Bobby York offers her flying lessons, he is equally surprised--and beguiled--by Mittie's grit, determination, and talent. Soon, Mittie is competing in cross-country air races, barnstorming, and wing-walking. But when Calista "Peach" Gilson, a charming Southern belle, becomes her rival in both aviation and in love, Mittie must learn to navigate her heart as well as the skies.
Shortly after burying her unfaithful husband, Georgia Peyton
unexpectedly inherits the derelict Stardust motel from a distant
relative. Despite doubts from the community and the aunt who raised
her, she is determined to breathe new life into it. But the guests
who arrive aren't what Georgia expects: Her gin-loving
mother-in-law; her dead husband's mistress; an attractive but
down-on-his-luck drifter who's tired of the endless road; and an
aging Vaudeville entertainer with a disturbing link to Georgia's
past.
It's 1962, and Dusty Fairchild, daughter of a self-made millionaire and oilman, wants to go to college. Instead she is sent to a private finishing school in East Texas. Although she's never wanted for material possessions, Dusty longs for independence and adventure. The only upside to attending Miss Fontaine's is having her cousin and best childhood friend, Paisley, join her.

At Miss Fontaine's, their loyalty to each other binds the two together, but when they both fall in love with the same handsome young man, their relationship teeters on shaky ground. Only after a tragic accident do they learn where their true hearts, and dreams, lie.
