Miss Molly's Final Mission: An Adventure Love Story Rick Destefanis

For this mission, they'll risk their lives. For each other, they'll risk their hearts.




Buddy Rider crash landed his spotter aircraft twice in Vietnam and along the way also lost his fiancée. Ten years later, he's dusting crops for a living and tinkering with an old WWII transport aircraft, as he avoids thinking too deeply of his losses or the sacrifices others made rescuing him. That is, until a young woman offers him a dangerous opportunity to find redemption.




Recent college grad Elizabeth Anderson has never understood war or the violence it engenders. She's dedicated her energy to aiding the helpless, and her immediate task to rescue fellow missionaries and orphans trapped in war-torn El Salvador requires an experienced pilot willing to risk such a mission, even when it is forbidden by State Department officials.




As Buddy and Elizabeth develop their rescue plan, they quickly realize they see most everything from opposite ends of the spectrum. Everything except what counts-helping innocent civilians escape the crossfire of drug cartels and foreign militias. Their mission into the jungles of Central America will test their faith, their mettle, and their trust in each other for their very survival.
