What if the life you built isn’t the one you were meant to live?
John Freeman did everything right.
He followed the rules. Built the career. Chased success.
But somewhere along the way, he lost something.
When a stranger on a commercial flight shares a near-death experience with an impossible twist, John’s carefully constructed life goes into a tailspin. For the first time in years, he begins to question everything.
Because deep down, he knows:
This can’t be all there is.
Drawn back to a dream he abandoned long ago, John discovers a hidden airfield untouched by the modern world. There, a mysterious flight instructor offers lessons that have nothing to do with flying—and everything to do with seeing beyond life’s illusions.
Over one unforgettable summer, John is forced to confront the questions he’s spent years avoiding. Torn between the comfort of the life he knows and the undeniable pull of something more, he faces the ultimate choice:
Stay safe… or risk everything to become who he was meant to be.
Because to truly soar, he must learn to let go of what’s been holding him down.
Praise for Flying Colors
"At home in the compelling realms of The Alchemist and Field of Dreams, Laney's Flying Colors is richly told and impossibly vibrant. The story will stay with you long after the final page is turned."
— John Hart, six-time New York Times bestselling author
Flying Colors is more than a novel. It’s a journey back to wonder, purpose, and the part of you that still believes anything is possible.
Perfect for fans of The Alchemist, Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah, and Way of the Peaceful Warrior, this is the kind of book that finds you when you need it most and stays with you long after you set it down.
