Aspiring to become a pilot, Lindsey finds this life goal is not so easily accomplished. Compounding the usually expected obstacles of financing the in-flight education and training comes to the reality that none of this would be approved by her husband and thus, must be kept a secret.

Keeping secrets is never easy, especially not for Lindsey who had to balance the demands of a highly stressful nursing administrative position, with childcare arrangements for 4 children, and airplane rentals which led to a dwindling bank account. While these were foreseeable obstacles that could ultimately be managed, a few other situations surfaced that could not have been anticipated.

Situations like: amorous overtures from half the flight instructors (who happen to be a very sexy lot); getting lost at altitude with little gas left in the wing tanks while flying a 500-mile solo; horrified seeing blood spurting from the shoulder wound of a flight mechanic who got too close to a slicing propeller; aborted permission-to-land transmissions from ground control as Lindsey was on final approach 200 feet above the runway; and, auto-rotating a helicopter down to a crash landing in a thick forest, then, deserted by the new flight instructor who bit off more than he could chew with Lindsey!

Readers can get a realistic glimpse of how to fly by reading this book.
