Captain Laura Savino takes you directly into the cockpit for an exclusive look into the boy's club of airline pilots—told through the eyes of the first female pilot many of them ever flew with.

"No math," Laura's counselor told her in high school. "That would ruin your GPA.”

Laura had other plans. One teenage act of rebellion changed everything for her at a time when STEM opportunities for women were rare. If passengers on a commercial jet had trouble imagining a woman flight engineer—which Laura became—imagine their disbelief to see her as the pilot flying their widebody jet around the world.She exposes both the harsh truths and the exciting adventure of her years in the airline industry as a commercial pilot, reveals the emotional impact of 9/11 on pilots, and writes honestly about what it means to be a working mother while keeping her dreams alive.

Laura's powerful story is a blueprint for how to defy expectations and follow your inner compass to do things you never thought possible.

The author will take you directly into her world from an aspiring pilot to a fully bloomed Captain. I loved the audiobook because I became more connected to her story hearing her tell it. I appreciate this read as a current airline pilot myself who deals with similar rewards and struggles. Although, one doesn’t need to be a pilot to appreciate the book. It’s relatable in multiple career and family areas.

Inspiring, relatable, with a touch of humor

I have read voraciously all of my life, I am 77, and this is one of the best books that I have ever read. I highly recommend the audible version read by the author.

Laura held my interest the whole time I listened to her book. I believe she really has a talent for storytelling and I learned things about airlines and aviation that no other pilots ever mentioned.

Great book!

The narration by the actual author is amazing, as she adds her voice and inflections to this story. I had not ever put myself in the shoes of a female trying to get in to aviation at the exact same time I was. It was hard for me but I never encountered the additional road blocks that women did universally during that time.
I started this book thinking that this was another girl that got things handed to her because she was a girl. Not true. This is a girl that was born to fly and had to slug it out against all odds, including her own parents’ dis approval of her passion for flight. My own perspective has been altered because of this work so well put together and vocally illustrated.

This was a wonderful memoir told by the author herself. Capt Savino takes you inside the airline industry from her start as a teen pilot through to a long career with a major airline. While she does talk about challenges that were specific to a female pilot in a field with less than 10% women, I found her story relatable and she didn’t dwell on the fact; most of her experiences were similar to what anyone would face in such a demanding profession. I primarily enjoyed the peek behind the cockpit door so to speak by someone who truly loved the job. This would be a great book for any young person about pursuing their passion.

Exceptional memoir

Ms. Savino did an amazing job narrating her own story. Her life so far has been chock full of adventure and she writes about it so well that you will feel like you were on the adventures with her.

You don't have to be a pilot to get totally caught up in the stories of the good and the bad times. Her story was told with grace and without arrogance.

Good job and thank you for sharing!

I couldn't stop listening!
