He gave her a scarf. She gave him a reason to come home.

​As World War II engulfs Europe, Robbie Connors, a quiet, steady young man, joins the Royal Canadian Air Force, determined to fight for what’s right—and perhaps, to find purpose in the skies above.

In England, amid training flights and wartime uncertainty, he meets a nurse with a laugh that grounds him and a spirit that takes his breath away. Their connection is brief but unforgettable—a kiss, a promise, a scarf with tiny blue airplanes passed between them before fate pulls them apart.

Years later, Robbie flies a commercial aircraft for KLM. He crosses oceans, cities, and skies, but never quite leaves behind the memory of that single night—or the woman who might still be out there.

Set against the turbulence of war and the quiet ache of longing, What the Sky Carries is a poignant tale of memory, love, and the spaces between goodbye and forever.

When structural engineer Catherine Morris stands up against a Redding condo project, citing the unethical demolition of a 200-year-old heritage property, she earns the ire of Richard Walker, a corrupt builder with a reputation for dangerous shortcuts. Things escalate when Catherine is called as a forensic expert to investigate a building collapse in Venezuela that killed 12 people — another project linked to Walker.

As she testifies in a high-stakes inquiry, Walker's threats turn personal, launching a smear campaign against Catherine and her boyfriend, Adrian, a retired history professor. Together, Catherine and Adrian race to uncover the hidden motive behind Walker’s obsession with the Redding property, revealing a disturbing family secret buried deep in the land’s history.

Determined to stop the condo development, Catherine works with the Redding protesters to stall the project while she and Adrian fight to expose Walker’s web of lies. But with powerful forces closing in, Catherine must stay one step ahead to protect her reputation, her relationship, and the truth—before Walker destroys everything.

In Foundations of Duplicity, past sins, corruption, and betrayal collide, forcing Catherine to confront hidden truths and fight for justice in a battle where the stakes couldn’t be higher.
