A World War II Love Story

De: Nadine Taylor

Narrado por: Nadine Taylor

Amazon Best Seller! Not the usual WWII tale, If My Heart Had Wings is a true story that sounds like a novel - a heartfelt tribute to first love, shattering loss, buried secrets, and a young widow haunted by the past while confronting a difficult, uncertain future.

“Loved it! The Greatest Generation all have their secrets in this endlessly fascinating and compelling memoir.” (Reedsy Discovery)

“Superb! A wonderful story of devotion and tough times....” (Nat’l WWII Museum)

At the height of WW2, 22-year-old Nina Raff learns that her beloved pilot husband has been killed in plane crash. To escape her grief, she upends her life, moves across country, and plunges into another marriage far too soon. For the next 20 years, she buries her sadness and ignores the past to appease her jealous alcoholic second husband.

But when her teenage daughter discovers a long-hidden wedding photo, an unforgettable story of love, heartbreaking loss, oppression, and family secrets tumbles out, compounded by a mystery the daughter is determined to solve.

It's war and its aftermath, told from a woman's point of view. Perfect for anyone who loves the history, drama, and romance of the World War II era.

Great WWII love story

I really enjoyed this true life, multi generational, story about love during WWII and the years after. It is also a coming of age story for the daughter as she learns about her mother’s hidden love for her first husband. The author brings to life conversations with her mother. The author/ narrator did an excellent job reading and the sound quality was very good. I was given a free copy of this audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review

Great Read

If My Heart Had Wings: A World War II Love Story was a great read by Nadine Taylor. This was a true story of star-crossed love, a brutal war, and family secrets that get unraveled. Nina was 22 years old during World War II when she found out that her husband has died overseas. She is running from her grief and decides to upend her life. She moved across the country and remarried very soon. When her daughter is a teenager she discovers a wedding photo that she never seen before and wasn’t of her mother and father. She starts to question things as her mother tells her of a life she never knew existed. I enjoyed reading this great true story.
