Summary:
July 5, 1970. A day that would change 13 year-old Lynda and her family forever. A fatal plane crash kills Lynda’s mother and two younger sisters. What follows is the true story of how Lynda, her father and the rest of Lynda’s family deal with the grief and despair of its aftermath. Consumed with sorrow, Lynda struggles to hold herself together and deal with her distraught father. Healing is a slow process for Lynda and things only get more difficult when her father remarries. Throughout it all, Lynda hangs on to life with hope, determination and the keen sense that “[w]e always have choices.”

My Thoughts:
A story more remarkable and suspenseful than any blockbuster movie out there! What Lynda had to endure was horrific. Lynda’s family and friends truly came together to help and protect her. Their solidarity and dedication gave Lynda the will to go on and pursue her dreams.
