Mary Davis

Mary Davis writes historical Christian fiction with a particular interest in women whose work challenged the expectations of their time. Mrs. Witherspoon Goes to War follows Peggy Witherspoon, a widowed mother who becomes a pilot with the Women Airforce Service Pilots during the Second World War. Barbour Publishing released the novel in 2022 within a series about women’s wartime service. Peggy’s flying duties, her responsibility for three daughters, and her developing connection with army intelligence agent Howie Berg give the story both domestic and historical dimensions. The novel draws attention to the WASP program, whose civilian women pilots ferried aircraft and performed other essential assignments within the United States. Davis places that service at the center of an accessible suspense story while emphasizing courage, faith, and family commitment. Her wider bibliography includes inspirational romance and historical series fiction. This volume is best understood not as a standalone title alone, but as a series novel framed around women’s wartime aviation service.
