Wings — Don L. Searle

Becoming a Latter-day Saint reawakens love in a young widow's life: eternal love for the husband she learns is not lost forever-and love for the man who wants her to be his wife now. Kate Warden, a pilot, often goes to the skies to find peace and solutions to problems. But she finds neither in the heavens after her husband Steve is killed in a plane crash, leaving her with two small children. She struggles with bitterness toward God and toward the pilot who was at fault-until she learns her husband is not lost forever and that their marriage and family can be eternal. After joining The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, she makes it a goal to be sealed to Steve for eternity in the temple. Then she meets Dave, a widower with three children, and finds that love can come into her life again. He asks her to spend the rest of her life with him, and she could happily say yes, except for two problems: Dave's teen daughter and son don't want another woman in Dad's life, and Kate can't help worrying how Steve would feel about her sharing life with another man. The situation seems irresolvable, until a surprising experience in the skies teaches her that love is more encompassing than she knew.
