DECEMBER MOON is the third in the series of the saga of the Hamilton women. Julie, fifth generation, bears the physical resemblance of her ancestors, but her ambition and goals are decidedly different. Not the atypical woman of the 30s and 40s, Julie joined the Army as a nurse and was caught in the web of war at Pearl Harbor. A trained and respected pilot, she flew with the Air Transport Women's group delivering bombers across the north Atlantic. Having crossed paths with the love of her life, Chris Morgan, a Texas Ranger, on several occasions, she again encounters him as a B-25 pilot in Europe. Bonded by their passion for aviation and the mutual attraction, they begin life together after the war desiring to live peacefully with Chris returning to law enforcement. Challenged by post-war life, they are discouraged when interrupted by the outbreak of the Korean conflict and Chris' recall to military service.
