Book Synopsis
As teenagers, Delia Byrne and Finn Delaney fell in love while flying kites and dreaming of a future together--until betrayal tore them apart. Now, as America enters World War I, Delia works for peace as a paralegal and pacifist. Her values forbid her from supporting the war effort, but she volunteers for a relief organization trying to save millions of lives in famine-stricken Belgium.
Returning to America as a decorated war hero, Finn is eager to get back to the front but is assigned to use his fame to raise funds instead. To his surprise, this mission will bring him face-to-face with Delia, the only woman he ever loved and once hoped to marry. As their shared mission draws them together, old sparks of romance begin to stir--until duty sends them behind enemy lines in occupied Belgium. Will the greatest danger be the conflict raging around them--or the possibility of falling in love again?

****I received a complimentary book from publishers, publicists, NetGalley, book tours, and or authors. A review was not required and all opinions and ideas expressed are my own.****
The Women of Midtown series has been outstanding. I've read all three books, and each tells a strong story. Beyond the Clouds is historical fiction from World War 1 in 1917.
Delia Byrne and Finn Delaney met as kids in an orphanage, and in their teens, they fell in love. A mix-up, hidden truths, and grudges tore them apart. Years pass, and war brings them back together. Delia is working for the CBD, which supplied food supplies to occupied Belgium. Finn is now a celebrated war hero who flew planes over France, was shot down, and was rescued by good Belgian people. Soon, they are working together to raise support and funds for the CBD. It starts rough as Delia still fumed over Finn taking their saved cash for a future kite shop. She refused to forgive him.
The story shares deep emotions for the characters and the readers. Delia starts to forgive, and Finn learns to forgive himself. Both grow stronger and braver than they ever thought, and angst hits hard at times.
I loved this second-chance romance. Elizabeth Camden researched the era's people and events in depth. I highly recommend you read all three books in this series. Each one was so unique and worth every minute of reading. Beyond the Clouds was a fabulous novel to end this series.
