All Eyes Skyward
by Dan Spencer

A tale of love, danger, and deception set during the heroic Berlin Airlift of 1948-49. Three years after the end of WWII, Greta Ludke, a young German mother with a meek daughter, struggles for survival by selling wares via Berlin's perilous black market. When the Soviets blockade the divided city as part of a ruthless political ploy, Berlin's citizens become pawns in an international chess match. But American and British flyers come to their aid with an airlift unlike anything ever conceived, bringing hope to the besieged city. Greta finds an unlikely savior in Lt. Tucker Briggs, a guileless U.S. Air Force pilot assigned to the airlift. The young lieutenant's passion for her spurs him through the long, tedious mission. But as fate would have it, Tucker must fly nearly every waking hour for months, so his visits with Greta are brief, though filled with hope and promise. Although dangers loom - kidnapping, starvation, violence, and the chance of another horrifying war - Greta escapes into pleasant dreams of a new life with her American admirer. But her questionable past, Tucker's naivete, and Berlin's nerve-wracking political tensions conspire against Greta's longing for love and salvation.
