Taking off is a book about awareness, anticipation, judgment and clarity. It's therefore also about growth, taking risks, sizing up challenges and moving ahead with what sometimes seems impossible. This makes the story at least a brush with love. Maybe not as close a brush as some would like, but I know my limitations.
We make mistakes in life, sometimes big ones. We also occasionally manage to dodge the worst consequences of some of them and find ourselves whispering a private prayer to our invisible copilot. Once in a while those people whose lives we touch aren't quite as fortunate and we do our best not to put them in harm's way again. We don't always succeed, but we keep trying.
