"A journey that will resonate with many."- Reader Review
Drew is a twenty-something who boldly quits a cushy sales job to chase his dream of an airline career-right into the dog-eat-dog chaos of airline deregulation. He nearly goes broke before landing a part-time job with tiny upstart Ruff Air. It's half the pay and the industry is in a nosedive, but he's never felt more alive, at least aside from the rookie mistakes and hard-earned lessons that test his resolve.
Then he's drawn into the aftermath of an in-flight tragedy, helping flight attendant Rachel support a grieving family. Their shared mission draws them together, sparking an unlikely workplace romance. Soon life is all about long-distance calls, stolen moments as her flights pass through, and even a playful competition to see who can plan the perfect "Weather Channel vacation." But as their airline spirals into financial oblivion, they're forced to confront hard choices that threaten to unravel the future they're trying to build.
Inspired by the author's time with Muse Air in New Orleans, readers get an insider's view of oversold flights, midair emergencies, and the people who keep an airline running. Yet the story reaches far beyond aviation, exploring love, loss, purpose-and just how fragile the best times of our lives can be.
