As dark clouds are gathering above Europe, three brave young souls soar higher still.

1938. 1938. At the break of dawn, a two-seater aircraft starts its engine and rolls onto the runway of the Latvian Aerodrome in Riga. In the pilot seat is twenty-one-year-old Miku, a daring young pilot. In front of him is his best friend Mikhail, a Jewish aircraft mechanic, whose dream of becoming an engineer was crushed as antisemitism rose all over Europe.

As the dark clouds of World War II gather behind them, the two embark on a daring escape to a destination thousands of miles away.

Both have little left to lose… except for their lives.

Present day. Mark and Lilly Golber always had a complicated relationship with their father.

Before he passed, Michael Golber was a stoic man, a wealthy agriculture mogul who built his empire with the sweat of his brow. Now that he’s gone, the Golber family gathers to hear the last will and testament of their father and grandfather.

But when their attorney reveals an old wooden box containing a worn Latvian diary, they have no idea that its contents will change everything they ever knew about their family, their history—and themselves.

Perfect for readers of Lily Graham, John Boyne, and Kate Quinn, Above a Gathering Storm is a page-turning tale of love, identity, and the lasting powers of friendship.
