The story of Otto Kerchner’s life continues in this book with the unexpected turns, warmly portrayed characters and richly remembered settings that readers have come to expect from the Beyond the Blue Horizon Series. Otto and his friends experience a suspicious crash of the baseball team bus, six funerals, a secret mission to Cuban with time spent in a Cuban jail, a mass shooting, a meningitis outbreak in their aviation camp, and an encounter with a woman who may or may not be Amelia Earhart.
On the Wings of Grace explores the same values of mid-western America during the middle of the twentieth century as did the other books, with a detailed appreciation of a vanished era, at the same time pointing to continued adventures, unexpected encounters and a range of characters in upcoming books.
