Lynn’s journey is filled with many firsts as she moves to different airlines and airplanes due to transitions, furloughs and mergers within the industry. She manages by staying adventurous and finding the silver lining during the industry’s uncertain times. The tales, written as if she’s talking to you elicit laughter, surprise, and tears as the memoir unfolds.
The reader will delight in the scenes as Lynn first discovers the joy of flying, struggles to turn the hobby she loves into a career, and finally succeeds in entering the man’s world of airline pilots. Even the non-pilot will enjoy the vivid descriptions of flight and can relate to the personal/professional life balancing act and obstacles faced when pursuing such a dream.
Enamored with flight, Lynn defies social norms and ignores the pilot’s negative comments about women being incapable of flying. Limited opportunities and options don’t deter her as she deftly navigates the challenges that arise while becoming the first person to go from flight attendant to pilot.
Throughout the memoir, Lynn demonstrates the power in friendship and love-made-families who help make her dream into a reality. Telling her story with candor, humor, humility, and gratitude, Lynn provides a blueprint for aspiring young people reaching for their goals.
Any woman who has bumped her head on the glass ceiling will relate to Lynn’s attempts to make it in a male-dominated industry in an era of non-inclusion and will cheer as she flies through that glass ceiling.
Lynn’s spiritual philosophy of “receiving through giving” is apparent throughout the historic tale. It serves as a quiet example of how to succeed, no matter the goal – and the definition of that success.
