Views from the Cockpit: The Journey of a Son

De: J. Ross Victory, Ross Victory

Narrado por: J. Ross Victory, Ross Victory

Views from the Cockpit: The Journey of a Son is a memoir born from pain. Word by word, year by year, tender father-son memories of airplane watching transform into nightmarish, turbulent family drama.

Upon the discovery that his father had been the victim of severe elder abuse as his health was rapidly deteriorating, the author finds himself reevaluating the decisions his father made throughout his life. With an unshakable ending, the author's probing dissection of a man he thought he knew reckons with disloyalty, depression, religion, and death, leaving no stone unturned.

Through sharp, sometimes hilariously brash analysis, decorated in plane metaphors and imagery, the author expresses his commitment to truth with sincerity and transparency. He reaches for forgiveness, understanding and compromise in the face of absurdity and uncompromising rigidity.

Ultimately, he contemplates a different "flight path" drawn from past lessons. He encourages listeners to do the same.

A must-listen for sons, fathers and families. Book-club discussion guide included.

Not just a story between father and son

While I was listening to this book on my daily commute to work, I thought this would be a little much to listen to in the mornings. After my first session I couldn’t wait to continue this Journey. You can clearly tell the author wrote this book putting their heart out there for the world to see. The story put me through an insane emotional roller coaster ride that I am still trying to deal with. I would recommend this book to anyone willing to hear the struggles of a young man who grows up to question so much about his life when things change drastically for him and his family.

This is amazing book

This book is really amazing. The insight, reflection, and pathos of his journey are evident on every moment. There is sadness in this story, but there is also an abundance of hope. When most people would fall apart and give up, Victory manages to find small shreds of humor to latch onto.

This is self-discovery
