These are the flying stories of a fearful pilot who admires but does not emulate the more daring exploits of her father and friends. The accounts of Jennifer Brice--at times poignant, funny, and downright nerve-racking--are engaging recollections of deadly, near-deadly, and occasionally comic encounters between human nature and Nature writ large. The unlikely romance between her parents, the Good Friday earthquake, the Alaska oil boom, a stint as a newspaper reporter, and the trials of a student pilot form engaging chapters in Brice's remarkable life. These are the stories in which the physics and metaphors of flight--center of gravity, angle of attack, wake turbulence--illuminate Brice's remarkable life story, recounted in prose that takes wing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJennifer Brice is an associate professor of English at Colgate University and the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Last Settlers\u003c\/i\u003e.
