Terror on Pan Am Flight 110 takes the reader from the black and white-sometimes hilarious, sometimes sad, but always brutally honest musings of one survivor's childhood and teen years to the unimaginable.

The poignant recovery this survivor went through is nothing less than remarkable. Follow her as she taps into a part of her that most people don't know is there. This book will make you question everything you thought you knew about reality.
