The Girls from Hangar B

An outstanding read! I had a hard time putting the book down just to go to work. Ms Nail weaves the lives of the four roommates together in such a way that reader can truly get the feel of the difficulties and patriotism of the WWII era. I highly recommend this book.

A testament to the strength of the collective human spirit

Set in WW II Seattle, The Girls From Hangar B follows four eager, patriotic women who were selected at random to work in the factories while America's men went to war. A Scandinavian redhead; an African-American mother of four; a rich, academic young woman; and an ex-prostitute - each woman is radically different in looks and history, and each one knows nothing about building, yet each is about to begin labor on some of the most complicated machines of the era. A wonderful tale of the enduring bond between female friends, The Girls From Hangar B is a testament to the strength of the collective human spirit.

Fantabulous!

Kristin Nail has a style of writing that literally grabs you by the coat tails and pulls you into the storyline. Her characters are so vivacious and real you feel as if you've met them at many points in your lifetime. Her way of describing a scene will at times crack you up and then have you weeping big daddy tears with empathy over a character or a particular scene. Kristin is an amazing writer and her first novel, The Girls From Hangar B, is a definite five star selection!! I hope I don't have to wait too long for her next one!!!
