An Adventure Memoir to Warm the Soul
A Shy Girl Breaks the Rules
Dream Take Flight is about a young girl overcoming shyness as she pushes back on the conventional roles for females in the 1960s. An admitted tomboy, she didn’t understand why she couldn’t take shop class or be a mechanic.
“At the time, I didn’t realize I was off the beaten path for girls. That’s probably what gave me the courage to persevere,” says Lisa.
Lisa ended up building an airplane in her garage at the age of 45. Her family thought she was crazy, and said so. In the years that followed, the airplane brought Lisa the confidence she was searching for. Both a physical and spiritual journey, a 4,000 mile solo in the airplane brings adventure and triumph.
Lisa provides a bonus for readers at the end of her story. Realizing that others may want to use the same tools that she did, Lisa provides an easy to follow blueprint for discovering life purpose and setting goals. It doesn’t have to be an airplane!
“I wrote the book hoping to touch lives and encourage men and women of all ages to reach inside to what they love to do and embrace it. In a world of much negativism I wanted to provide a story that was renewing and uplifting.”
