About book Miles To Go Before I Sleep: My Grateful Journey Back From The Hijacking Of Eqyptair Flight 648 (1995)
Reading the account of the hijacking was rough. I knew some of what was coming, but there were other details that made me want to stop reading. Words cannot describe what she went through. I don't recall much about the event but, sadly, these events were common occurrences at the time. My parents worked in the airline industry, but I think they tried to shield me from their concerns. I lived in England when the IRA was active. We knew we couldn't live in permanent fear. We had to get on with our lives. I was also interested in her recovery process, both physically and mentally. There were things that went well and things that didn't. It was always going to be a long haul and there were some things that could never be healed. Certain aspects were familiar. I understood the depression, my mother in law has epilepsy. My husband is a physical therapist. If the book had stopped there, I'd have rated it higher. But the author then went into self-help and motivational mode. It sounds very much like what I've come across over the years from other motivational speakers. I'm not a fan of the self-help gospel and never found it useful. I've also found it conflicts with my Christian faith. I couldn't accept the author's belief that there is no physical heaven and hell and that we can choose to be in heaven or hell on earth through these self-help ideas.
