I saw Jackie Pflug speak at a luncheon and I knew I had to buy her book. Her speech was the most inspirational I have ever heard and I have been a "junkie" of inspirational speeches. The book did not disappoint.
There is something here for everyone -- a riveting adventure story as she gives a moment by moment account of the hijacking. There is inspiration in her telling of her recovery and the goals she set for herself. Jackie explains her philosophy and spirituality in a way that would be consistent with most any relious belief-- or non belief.
Most of all, you will learn to appreciate every single day. This is not a sappy "survivor" account but a real life experience that happened to change the author's life. This book will give you the courage to face your obstacle's. It is on my gift list for everyone I know.

I saw Jackie at a seminar before her book was even finished or titled. She gave us a hint of what the book was probably going to be named. I wrote that in my PDA so I could watch for it when it came out as I was so captivated by Jackie's amazing story. She is an wonderful speaker as well as writer. Until most of the seminar was over, I had not realized Jackie was as vision impaired as she is. She looked around the room, gestured, and looked into the audience and smiled at us as if she could see us(.Unfortunately,afire alarm inadvertently went off at the convention site where the seminar was being held. Jackie was a real trooper and just followed along with the assistance of a few people). IT was not a surprise that her book was so well written. I already had her story memorized yet when I was reading her book as if I didn't know anything about it, I was pleased to see how well she set the scene for the whole climatic event that took place that day. I guarantee this story will have you sitting on the edge of your seat and leave you wanting more, not for the lack of information, because Jackie did an exceptional job in putting this horrifyinh event, along with her most remarkable journey into a book that isn't the size of an encyclopedia. She is a n inspiration that will make you thankful for your life and thankful you haven't had to face anything like this in your life time. I have purchased 8 copies of her books because I have told so many people about her story,that they wantto borrow my book. I won't risk losing my copy, so they each get their own. I would suggest you do the same, befor I buy all of them up.

This is a terrific story of a frightening experience that Jackie Pflug endured and came out a winner. A must read for everyone.

I read "Miles To Go Before I Sleep: My Grateful Journey Back from the Hijacking of..." and I assumed "A Survivor's Story..." would be the sequel. It is actually the same book with a new title and cover.

The story is very inspirational. I would love to see a sequel about where Jackie is today.

I just heard Jackie Pflug speak at an event yesterday and she was amazing. Her incredible story and her determination to recover and remain positive truly are an inspiration. I had to get her book after hearing her story and she really explains why you shouldn't sweat the small stuff in life. She was simply amazing and blew me away.
