Items related to The Boarding Pass
Have you ever been on an airplane seated next to a stranger, wondering what their life might be like? Or found a boarding pass left behind by a previous passenger? This was the case for author Betty Gossell some years ago when she found a boarding pass from the passenger who sat in her seat on the previous flight. This sparked the idea for the new novel she's now released, co-written with her daughter Karen Pickens.
This book is a collection of eight short stories of people who shared the same airplane seat throughout one particular day. It drops you into the middle of their lives, and you are invested in finding out the reason they are travelling, and what awaits them when they get to their destination -- love, war, marriage, divorce, business failure or potential success.

From the Author:
Betty Gossell has loved reading and writing all of her life. She has been a healthcare consultant for more than 20 years, and spent most of that time travelling across the country, often on 2 or 3 flights each week. Betty's first book was The Boarding Pass which she wrote with her daughter Karen Pickens. Betty has been on hundreds of flights, and Karen's first travel experience was when she was just four months old, so travel writing came easily to both of them.

Book Description Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The world and how we perceive it has changed drastically, even in my relatively short life span. The planet has gotten smaller and simpler to traverse. Stereotypes have been discarded and new ones erected. Definitions of success, family, and happiness all have undergone massive renovations, but there are a few truths that hold.We still glorify the special moments in life, those with measurable quantities of interest. And we shun and almost dread the ordinary. It seems that we must be reminded that even in the most exemplary life, a snapshot may reveal that which is static and mundane.So how would it be possible to find a true cross section of life among ordinary people That would probably depend upon your definition of ordinary. Maybe it's running to the grocery store to pick up food for your family for the week. Maybe it's standing in line at the bank to deposit a paycheck. Maybe ordinary is pushing a lawnmower or a swing. Maybe it's sitting in a classroom, a traffic jam, or an airplane seat.Though our actions and even our words cannot always be revolutionary, even the most cynical among us cannot deny that chance encounters and other so-called ordinary events have the potential to change our little piece of the world. These unsuspecting snapshots may not start or end a war. They may not crumble an empire or spark a new dream. But that they exist is cause for research into the human condition, those warring desires for stability and change. Only a little dissection will show that everyone has a story-a past, a future. Every person has a place of origin and a destination, as well as somewhere in between. And somewhere on this journey, for every blessed one of us, there are moments-more frequently than you would expect-when we are the direct opposite of ordinary. Seller Inventory # 9781546212140
