Flying with God!

If you are interested in a personal WWII story and behind the scene scoops of a 38 years flying career in the USA, this is a must read for you. Like many others who suffered early traumas, the author shows how she courageously carried her life's cross. In Part 1, she reveals her chaotic upbringing, set against the terrifying backdrop of Germany during WWII. She writes of the travails while being raised by a domineering mother and passive father. The saga continues with her family's journey to the "New World" with many movies across Canada and the United States. She shares how her dysfunctional upbringing always made her feel like an outsider and how "looking for love in all the wrong places" got her into big trouble. In Part II, she take a nostalgic trip back to her early years of flying as she recounts many first hand behind the scenes experiences. She also answers many of the questions that curious travelers have asked over the years. How long have you been flying? Do you like your job? Do you ever get scared? Have you ever had famous people on board? "Sparkles" is writing another book to tell you about overcoming her traumas- what steps she took to help her smile on the inside and as well as the outside.
