Fly Girl by Ann Hood
An entertaining and fascinating memoir of gifted storyteller (People) Ann Hoods adventurous years as a TWA flight attendant
"In this warm and engaging memoir, Ann Hood captures the heady thrills as well as the gruelling realities of life as a flight attendant during the Golden Age of air travelOver eight years, Hood walked a million miles, explored far-flung cities, and learned invaluable lessons that shaped her as a writer and a person. A brisk history lesson, an affectionate homage, and a thoughtful critique of the airline industry, Fly Girl soars." -- Christina Baker Kline, New York Times best-selling author of The Exiles and Orphan Train
"Fly Girl soars: Ann Hood’s memoir of her experiences as a flight attendant is a love letter to the years when flying was a dream—and the 747s ruled the skies. I was catapulted back in time and savored every second and every story from 35,000 feet in the air." -- Chris Bohjalian, #1 New York Times best-selling author of The Flight Attendant and The Lioness
"At first blush, Fly Girl is a charming, layered memoir about Ann Hood’s life as a flight attendant who knew the industry in its glory days—and its-not-so-glorious days post-deregulation. But it’s also something much more, nothing less than a manifesto calling us to embrace joy and adventure, however we define them. I have always loved Ann’s stories and now I know why she has so many: She has lived, in the best, fullest sense of that word. She can't make the sun stand still, but, boy does she make it run." -- Laura Lippman, New York Times best-selling author of Dream Girl and Lady in the Lake
