Synopsis

On February 24, 1989, Shari Peterson was a passenger on the ill-fated United Flight 811 from Honolulu to Auckland.

Traveling four miles above the Pacific Ocean, the jumbo jet’s cargo door was ripped from its hinges, creating an enormous hole in the side of the aircraft. Facing certain death, terrified passengers and crew were now at the mercy of the deadly incoming hurricane-force wind, ear shattering noise, and bitterly cold night air.

In her personable and relatable Midwestern style, Shari takes us through her early life which sets the stage for her story of survival.

Following the life altering event of United 811 in February 1989, Shari began her quest for understanding her own life.  She began traveling extensively sharing her experiences and teaching personal development.  One of her discoveries was her ability to effectively communicate and counsel people, empowering them to greater personal growth.
