“Like the A-10 aircraft she flew in combat, retired colonel and fighter pilot Martha McSally is a gritty individual who loves our Air Force and personified its core values of excellence, integrity, and service before self, while standing up to make it a better institution for everyone who serves. How to be resolute, do the right thing, persevere, find gratitude, and learn compassion are just some of the lessons in her inspirational life story.” —Ron FOGLEMAN, General (ret.), U.S. Air Force; former Air Force Chief of Staff
Combining the soulful honesty
of Make Your Bed with the inspiring
power of You Are a Badass, America’s
first female combat jet pilot and Arizona Senator Martha McSally shows you how
to clear the runway of your life: embrace fear, transform doubt, succeed when
you are expected to fail, and soar to great heights in this motivational life
guide.
Martha McSally is an extraordinary achiever whose
inner strength and personal principles have helped her overcome adversity
throughout her life. Initially rejected from Air Force flight school because
she was too short, she refused to give up, becoming the first female fighter
pilot to fly in combat and the first to command a combat fighter squadron in
United States history. During her twenty-six-year military career, she fought
to free American servicewomen stationed in the Middle East from
restrictions requiring them to don full-body, black abayas and ride in
the backs of cars – and won. McSally has continued to serve America, first
in the House of Representatives, and now as a U.S. Senator from Arizona.
McSally is also a survivor. She
shares how her experiences propelled her to become a fighter for justice in and
out of the cockpit. In this powerful, uplifting book, McSally reflects on her
successes and failures, shares key principles that have guided her, and reveals
invaluable lessons to break barriers, thrive through darkness, and make someone
proud in your life. “Courage isn’t magic or genetics. It is a choice. By
choosing to do things afraid, you discover your own power to overcome.”
Filled
with fresh stories and insights, Dare to Fly will help each of us find
the courage inside to break our barriers, endure turbulence, and keep flying
high.
