1. According to Mom, no. But it was a trending girl name in the 1950s. The internet says: As a variation of the French chérie, Sherry means "darling," placing it as the very definition of a most beloved person. I‘m good with that?
2. The tagged author is named Sherri

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

pickThis was an awesome story. I really enjoyed it. Starting out the author tried to use too much technical jargon about the planes and their workings but that didn‘t last long. Peggy was an inspiration. Even with everything going on she still took time for others. Although she felt abandoned by God, she was finally able to see that He had been there all along! He will never leave you.
I received this book from Celebrate-Lit for my honest review.
pickIda Mae Jones is a wonderful character. I loved her strength and determination to serve her country (and to follow a path for HERSELF rather than one chosen for her by family or society) even as she dealt with racism and sexism. The epilogue is set after the war and I wish I knew which path she chose at that point but at the same time I liked where it ended.

Ida Mae Jones wants to help the war effort, but to be a part of the Women Airforce Service Pilots, she has to pass as white. As she goes through training and later assignments, her success—both in a role traditionally held by a man and as a white woman—calls her to contemplate her identity and what it will mean post-war. Though I wish the end had given more of a peek into her future choices, hers is still a solid historical story.
