 Takeoffs and Landings
This book is about two teens stuck in Pickford County, Ohio. Neither has ever been on a airplane. They've been living with their grandparents and siblings on the family farm ever since their father passed away. Widowed and without a profession or a degree, their mother Joan had to find a job to support her five children. She becomes a motivational speaker, traveling across the country to speak at conferences, and she is rarely home.

When their mother decides to make up for her absences by taking Lori and Chuck with her on a trip across the country. Relationships change and secrets are uncovered.

The book is written from three different points of view: Lori's, Chuck's, and Joan’s. The novel shows a family who struggles to overcome, which is very inspiring. Reading TAKEOFFS AND LANDINGS will make you feel good, even if you don't like to fly.
