Publisher's summary

For this mission, they’ll risk their lives. For each other, they’ll risk their hearts.

Buddy Rider's little Cessna spotter aircraft was shot down twice over the jungles of Vietnam, and ten years later he’s flying crop dusters for a living while tinkering with an old WWII transport aircraft. He avoids the painful memories of the war, the bad times, and the loss of friends, until a young woman comes to his aircraft hangar in search of him. Elizabeth Anderson is a lay nun dedicated to aiding the helpless, and her immediate task is to rescue fellow missionaries and orphans trapped in war-torn El Salvador.

This requires an experienced pilot with a sturdy aircraft who is willing to risk such a mission, even when it's forbidden by the State Department. Buddy agrees that helping innocent civilians escape the crossfire of drug cartels and warring factions in El Salvador is a noble cause but an impossible mission. Neither he nor his old C-47 paratrooper aircraft could survive such a mission, and he dismisses the young woman, until a pushy State Department official comes around making implied threats. Rider, an admitted rebel, is also a sucker for a damsel in distress and reconsiders. Faced with government investigators, impossible logistics, El Salvadoran government troops, and rebel guerillas, Buddy knows he and his pollyannaish partner will need a miracle to succeed.
