Following Wild Blue, Coleen W. Cain's second World War II novel, Glory After the War continues this gripping saga. Paula and her husband, former USAF Capt. Garner Cameron, pursue their dreams of earning a living while continuing to serve their country in the freedom they so gallantly won. The nation swoons under strikes, shortages, and rental hikes for its 12,000,000 returning vets. Stripped of housing, employment, and basic needs, Paula and Garner are determined for him to get his B.S. degree in Engineering under the G.I. Bill. It is theirs to survive and revive the nation. Paula gets pregnant. Working wherever possible, she is often hungry, always worried about her unborn baby. They have been through the war, but this time around, it is the woman who determines the outcome.
Written in three parts, Wild Blue explores a new niche in World War II American literature. It gives an inside view of the young women, their families, and communities, along with national politics and their relations with their counterpart combat pilots at war. Cain reveals how Paula and her peers brought about the greatest revolution in America since 1776. Paula Roncourt, West Texas artist, fights "The Battle of Texas" while her pilot husband, Garner Cameron, commands missions over Germany. Paula, secretary to the Commanding Officer at Goodfellow Air Corps Base, suffers when Garner is shot down over the English Channel, then later, is Missing In Action. Wild Blue's poignant story affirms the strength of our country's young women and combat pilots pulling together to save America and the world for freedom.
