On Distant Shores, by Sarah Sundin, is the second book in her series Wings of the Nightingale. This book follows Georgie Taylor and Technical Sergeant John Hutchinson who both have familial and personal expectations to live up to, and down. Georgie has always been considered a fragile Southern rose and surprises her parents and fiance when she signs up to follow her best friend Rose into Flight Nursing. She also has to fight her own self doubt about her abilities and her place in this elite squadon of nurses. Technical Sergeant John Hutchinson is fighting for more stringent training and measures in the pharmacies as it is run by officers who have no knowledge of proper pharmaceutical practices and fellow soldiers who have had a few months training and are put in charge of dispensing and preparing medication for the soldiers on the front. John is a trained pharmacist who decided to enlist instead of attending Officer Candidate School in order to work in the pharmacy where he had been trained. John is providing the American Pharmaceutical Association with the data and stories needed to convince Congress of the need for a Pharmacy Corps. Add to that a fiance, who constantly questions his faithfulness and John has a full plate. All this takes place against the backdrop of Operation Husky as the Allies move into Italy. I would highly recommend this book and I can not wait until the next book comes out.
Have a good read, Nina
