With the war's end in sight, Ellie still hadn't heard if her father was alive.

When his uniform arrives, Ellie's faith that he is still living lessens, but when she finds love letters from another woman in the coat’s pocket, she has to find out what was going on. This woman's name is Lillian.

Ellie didn't have a good relationship with her mother so she went to her Aunt Iris's home to ask for advice. Iris actually knew Lillian but didn't tell her how she had known her. She thought Aunt Iris was a secretary in an attorney's office but found out differently.

Ellie and her Aunt Iris went to New York City to find Lillian, but Ellie found out more than she anticipated. Her aunt was brought back to her days as a Ziegfeld Girl and to memories she didn't want to have to remember.

We get to experience New York City and life in the 1920's and 1940's, learn about the Ziegfeld Follies, be reminded how women were expected to stay home instead of going to work, but best of all be treated to another splendid book by Ms. Jaeger.

Most of Ms. Jaeger's characters are wonderful ones you will miss when the book ends. The story line is intriguing with an abundance of family drama.

THE PILOT’S DAUGHTER is Ms. Jaeger’s beautifully written crowning jewel.

Absolutely LOVED this book.

Do not miss reading THE PILOT'S DAUGHTER if you enjoy historical fiction, strong women, and are a fan of life in the 1920’s and 1940’s.

You will NOT be disappointed. 5/5
