Giveaway: Velva Jean Learns to Fly by Jennifer Niven
Thanks to Milena Brown of Penguin Group | Plume, I am giving away one copy of Velva Jean Learns to Fly.
Book Description:
In VELVA JEAN LEARNS TO FLY (A Plume original / August 30, 2011) the feisty Velva Jean Hart drives off from Appalachia to Nashville to follow her dream: singing at the Grand Ole Opry. But after Pearl Harbor , Velva Jean pins her sights instead on getting her wings.
Set during the tumultuous years of World War II, when men were called to duty and women were given the opportunity to step forward and serve their country, this second novel from Jennifer Niven is an inspiring story of one woman’s determination and independence.
Here we see the ever-intrepid Velva Jean become a pioneering member of the Women’s Airforce Service Pilots. Fewer than 1,000 women made the cut and became women pilots in this extraordinary program. These brave women flew the oldest, patched-together planes—and were finally given veteran status in 1977 and received the Congressional Gold Medal from President Obama. Set against this fascinating backdrop, the spellbinding story of Velva Jean’s training and flying sheds light on the amazing service performed by these daring women. It’s a page-turning story of heroics, romance, and poignant losses. Penned by an author who truly makes stories come to life, VELVA JEAN LEARNS TO FLY is an enormously exciting adventure and coming-of-age novel with more a little something for every reader.
About the Author:

Her second book, Ada Blackjack, was a Book Sense Top Ten Pick. Her books have been translated into ten languages. Her first novel, VELVA JEAN LEARNS TO DRIVE, is based on her own screenplay, which became an Emmy Award-winning short film. She lives in Los Angeles.
