Joe Daley's life is spiraling out of control. In more ways than one...His dreams of WWII glory died along with his plans to serve his country. Fifteen years later, Joe Daley flies a crop duster and struggles through life, with his marriage to high-school-sweetheart Meg running on fumes. Until one morning when Joe's daily routine turns into the ride of a lifetime as his beat-up biplane begins a heart-stopping spiral toward earth.What did he hit? An enormous bird? With the only evidence a long white feather, Joe embarks on a new odyssey. When an old high-school suitor of Meg's-now the charming representative of a corporate farming enterprise-arrives in town, he offers better lives for everyone. Is this the opportunity Joe and Meg have been waiting for? Or a collision course with disaster?

I didn't pay a lot of attention to the back cover copy, as this was a book passed down to me from a friend, and I simply launched into reading, so I was pleasantly surprised at the turns the story took. I like the post WWII setting, and the hero in the book is a true anti-hero, but one I quickly came to care for despite his strong flaws. That's the sort of character I like reading about. The story has a strong "It's a Wonderful Life" flavor, and if you enjoy that movie as much as I do (it's my all-time fave!) then you'll enjoy One More Sunrise. The ending took some turns I didn't expect, and was in a way, bittersweet. Give it a try. ( )

NCLA Review - The story begins in 1941 when Joe Daley's dream is to marry his sweetheart and join the war as a fighter pilot. Seventeen years later we find Joe's life a mess. He never became a fighter pilot and his marriage is falling apart. When his crop dusting plane goes into an uncontrollable dive, he pleads with God for one more chance. Remarkably he is able to recover the plane. Shortly after, he has a strange encounter with an angel. With God's help, Joe gets his life back on track. He learns first hand the power of forgiveness and God's power in our lives. Rating: 4—NP ( )
