Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is a moving, unbelievable, true story about a pilot who made some mistakes, paid dearly for them, and pursued his dream of flying twice. It really was captivating and hard to turn off. If you're looking for a good audiobook to listen to or gift to someone this is well worth it!
