Review Quotes:

"In the rarified atmosphere of flying, Armstrong's memoir of life as a female pilot gives us a fascinating glimpse into a world where men still rule. But it's her write-from-the-gut style of story-telling and the unexpected turbulence she meets, not just in her career but in her personal life, is what will captivate you. Riveting, informative, and break-your-heart funny."
Lee Woodruff - NY Times bestselling author of In an Instant; Perfectly Imperfect - A Life in Progress; Those We Love Most; contributing reporter for CBS This Morning

"Captain Armstrong brings to her work originality and humor which is rare in aviation literature. Her success flying the 'heavy iron' for the airlines is a must read for any woman considering a career in aviation or facing the challenges of balancing work and home."
Darcy Vernier, 3 Distinguished Flying Crosses, ATP, CFI, CFII, BA

"Captain Armstrong's powerful message of keeping sight of ourselves and our own hopes and dreams is a winner."
Dorothy C. Westby, Captain, Boeing 727, retired, Artist, BFA, MFA

Refreshingly smart and funny. Capt. Armstrong isn't afraid to show her humanity and her humiliating moments, and demonstrates deep courage and conviction. Figuring out how to 'have it all' is an ongoing question in most women's lives."
Kristen Moeller, MS, Author of Waiting for Jack

Reading her work reminds you, just in case you forget, that life is about fun, even though we have to live through some despair. Through tragedy we sometimes find meaning."
David Lazaroff, Author of Live It Up!
