Synopsis
*** Winner 2019 New Apple Award for Excellence in Independent Publishing***
In a crippled airplane thousands of miles from home, Tris must prove she can lead...
Propelled by grief and natural ambition, pilot Tris Miles is not content with her job as a First Officer for tiny Clear Sky Airlines. She wants to be a Captain--the only way she knows to prove her worth as a pilot and atone for a deadly mistake.
To further her career, Tris accepts a prestigious job with Tetrix, Inc. But her dream of becoming pilot-in-command twists into a nightmare. As the company's first woman pilot, she encounters resistance, marginalization, and harassment on a daily basis. Fortunately, Tris has one thing her co-workers can't deny--skill.
In the skies over Europe, Tris, her passengers, and crew are in real danger. With their lives on the line, can Tris earn the respect she's been craving? And if this is the end, can she find the strength to forgive herself?
