Book of the Year Award - For the Rescues


I try not to do much promotion on my books as you are all here for the dogs but  Amazon International #1 Best-Selling book True Course - Lessons from a Life Aloft was selected as 2019 Book of the Year by N.N. Light - a well known book review service, award winning author, and editor.  Here is her review. (sales of this book, as well as my previous 4 books all go to animal rescue so if you buy a 99 cent kindle book all profits will go to animal rescue).  https://amzn.to/2HHO6Hc

From the time Brigid was a little girl, she wanted to fly. Her parents told her she couldn’t be a pilot and should pursue more domesticated dreams. But the fire inside her wouldn’t be vanquished. It wasn’t easy and as a woman, she got her fair share of disbelief. She learned to fly and spent the next few decades soaring in the skies.

True Course is a collection of short tales filled with lyrical and descriptive narration. She shares everything from growing up in the 1960’s to learning to fly and her career in the sky as a pilot. Her passion for aviation is so evident in her prose, she makes the reader a co-pilot in the cockpit. Every thought, every emotion pours out of her onto the page. It’s breathtaking and inspiring.

What makes this a five-star? Beyond what I’ve already mentioned, what stands out for me is the way Brigid Johnson’s writing feels like she’s a good friend sharing her adventures. Emotionally charged, she bares her soul to the reader. No white-washing here, she reveals both the triumphs and failures. It’s refreshing and adds to the depth of the memoir.

If you’ve ever wanted to fly or are a fan of aviation, True Course is a must-read. A testament to following your heart and achieving your dreams. Highly recommend!
