Silver wings

Miss Amory Lorrimer, sole support for her 2 elderly aunts, accepts a job as social secretary for the wealthy Whitney family. While not included in the family, she is called upon occasionally to fill in at meals for missing guests. Upon her arrival, she meets a nephew of the house, Teddy, who is an accomplished pilot. Amory learns that Teddy's next flight will be dangerous but will set records if successful. She promises to pray for his safe return and gives him her copy of the New Testament to carry and read. After numerous reports of Teddy's progress, the family's routine is thrown aside when no further word comes and search parties are dispatched. In the meantime, another family nephew, a fine minister, is the target of a beautiful but scheming houseguest who plans to bring him down. The persistence of prayer plays a huge part in the story.
