Originally Published December 1, 2016
From the book summary:
When a family outing in a private plane takes a tragic turn, a Memorial Day trip becomes an unforgettable 15 hours of danger, rescue efforts, and miracles.
On a clear Saturday morning, professional fire captain and private pilot Brian Brown, his wife, and younger daughter headed out in their Cessna Sky Hawk for a weekend with their elder daughter. But unexpected severe conditions send the craft into the treacherous War Eagle Idaho mountainsideā¦a remote place that would make communication and rescue nearly impossibleāif they survived.
This captivating story, featured onĀ The Today Show, is about a family in crisis, emergency plans for survival, and the incredible orchestration of local, state, and national rescue workers who brave unpredictable obstacles to accomplish the unimaginable.
An intriguing account of faith and courage reminds readers that one's darkest hour can become the landscape for miracles to unfold.
