Heidi Porch was a young child when she had a dream. And that was one day to become an airline pilot. She had a plan to make that happen, but life had other ideas. In her twenties, she found herself piloting single-engine airplanes across the Pacific Ocean to Hawaii, and the islands beyond, all the way to Australia and New Zealand. On one of these crossings, the unimaginable happened. The engine failed and she had to ditch her crippled airplane into the ocean, 540 miles from the nearest land. Spending almost ten hours in a small life raft, fighting the swells and waves of a storm that had moved in, she was finally rescued. Her saviors happened to be Soviets. It was still the Cold War.Heidi's story is one of resilience, courage, heartbreak, and determination. She brings the reader along for a ride that you won't soon forget.
