She believes she should be a missionary serving God in the remote regions of the world. The people she meets while at the Red Cross show her there are many mission fields in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>The other main character is Lt. Adler Paxton who entered the Air Force to escape from his sins of the past. He ran away from a horrible tragedy made worse by actions he made in despair. He learns many lessons about God and life as he faces the dangers of air combat.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Violet and Adler find each other and help one another find answers and purpose. The characters are believable and interesting. The chemistry is real. By switching  back and forth to each character&#8217;s view, you see the differences in how people think and how making assumptions can really impact decisions and situations. With a backdrop of history, a little bit of finding one&#8217;s way, a portion of redemption, and a big measure of romance, <em>The Sky Above Us<\/em> adds up to a great story. Sundin did it again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was given a copy of this book by the publisher for a fair and objective review.
