From the Book

Chapter One

"Being fired wasn’t part of my plan, and it was terrifying. But this wasn’t the first time something had challenged me.
I had faced seemingly insurmountable odds before: escaping a dysfunctional home, joining the 82nd Airborne Division, losing my mom, and navigating an abusive marriage."

“Being fired wasn’t part of my plan, and it was terrifying. But this wasn’t the first time something had challenged me. I had faced seemingly insurmountable odds before and survived them all.”

— She Wasn't Supposed to Fly, Chapter 1

★★★★★

"Who am I, if I'm not achieving?' Those words stopped me. This memoir gave me strength to reflect on the hardest parts of my own journey and to be proud of them. This is not a book you read just once."

— Audry

★★★★★

"Imagine everything around you says you're not going to make it, but something inside tells you, I can. I will. I must. This book will make you think: I am the main character. I am Her, and she is Me."

— Benetta. B

★★★★★

"This memoir is powerful, riveting, and raw in the best way. The writing doesn't just tell you what happened; it drops you into the chaos, the fear, the fury, and the quiet determination to survive."
