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.
