The Golden Angel

The House of Winslow #26

by Gilbert Morris

Living in Africa is an adventure for Erin Winslow, yet she longs for even more excitement. She meets a pilot and persuades him to teach her to fly. Before she realizes it, she has fallen in love with him. But a devastating discovery leaves Erin deeply hurt, and she flees home to America. Erin hopes to find a job as a pilot and nurse her wounded heart. When no one will hire a woman, she finds work in a café. That's where Quaid Merritt, stunt flyer, steals into her life, reigniting her dreams about flying. She and Quaid travel across America, thrilling crowds with daring aerial acrobatics. When Hollywood producers come calling, Erin has some important decisions to make--about Quaid, and about her future. (House of Winslow Book 26)

Reviews

[Michele Minor · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is a good story set during the Roaring Twenties about a missionary kid who when she gets older is betrayed by the man that she thought that she loved. She escapes to America where she waits tables at a cafe while waiting for a change to use her flying skills. She meets up with Quaid Merritt who was a flyer in World War I and they form their own air show. This is a good book with a good message in it and you do see some of the other characters in other books.

This series by Gilbert Morris is one of my absolute favorites. Each book follows at least one member of a generation in the Winslow family tree and the member(s) gets saved and finds true love. There's also some commentary on the social conditions of the time frame. Truly interesting.

This book took place during the roaring 20s. Focusing especially on the pilots and their stunts.

Erin Winslow learns to fly, chooses to do air shows with Quaid. She also makes decisions regarding her being in movies.

[Jane · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is the last book in the series that I own and probably the last I read. The series started to seem "never ending" and when I stopped reading this was one of the last books out. I kinda lost interest in the series and will probably never finish it though it was good, especially in the beginning. I remember some of the earlier books better than the later ones and I think I started reading the series in 5th grade and into high school.
