Wing and a Prayer

Cover to come soon

Theron Robertson was a C-141 pilot before a twist of fate brought his Air Force career to a halt, introduced him to the son he had not known he had, and reunited him with the father he had not known since he was as old as his son now is.

When he tells his wife, Courtney, that he can be dense, sometimes, she replies, "Yes, but I like you that way."

As Theron begins to put his life together and yearns to fly once more, his father is ready to soar high with him in their DC-3.
