This caught my eye at the bookstore because I am both fascinated by and uneasy about flying. It also reminded me of a wonderful exhibit about the history of flight attendants I saw years ago at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. From a young age, novelist Ann Hood knew she wanted to be a writer. She also knew that writers needed material, and she intended to get hers by getting out of Rhode Island and out into the wider world. And so she landed a coveted job as a flight attendant for TWA Airlines, a position harder to secure at the time, statistically speaking, than admission to Harvard. Between 1978 and 1986, Hood crisscrossed the country and the world, tending to planes and their passengers in her iconic Ralph Lauren uniform. These pages outline the massive changes in the industry during that time, but they're mostly filled with Hood's stories of what she saw in the air.
