Lisette Alvarez: Walk, Run, Fly Again, Gebunden

Klappentext

"Powerful, deeply personal and inspiring beyond words! Walk, Run, Fly Again will give you hope that no matter what setbacks you face in life--you can overcome them with grit, love and faith. Let John Alvarez show you how!" - Admiral William H. McRaven, US Navy (Retired)

What happens when everything is taken from you... and you refuse to accept it?

***Walk, Run, Fly Again***is the gripping true story of John Alvarez, a U. S. special operations pilot whose life changes in an instant after a counter-drug mission ends in a crash in a jungle river in Ecuador. Against impossible odds, John survives-but at the cost of a limb and other injuries which threaten his very identity, and the career he had spent his entire life building.

What follows is a battle far beyond physical recovery. Despite being told that returning to combat flight would be impossible, John sets out to do what had never been done before: fight his way back to the cockpit and reclaim his place in the skies.

He would become the first U. S. military pilot to return to full, unrestricted combat flight status after amputation.

This is not simply a story of grit and determination. It is a story of faith that persists in uncertainty, of love that carries through the darkest moments, and of the brotherhood who refuse to let him fall. In the space between who he was and who he is becoming, John discovers that the strength to rise again is never his alone.

Written by his eldest child, Lisette Alvarez-an award-winning storyteller who experienced the journey at the tender age of five-Walk, Run, Fly Again is a powerful account of resilience, sacrifice, and the unbreakable bond of family.

Forged after impact. Tempered by grace.
