Caroline Paul’s Why Fly—open-cockpit flight, awe from above, and the hard-won clarity that comes when life on the ground gets turbulent
Send us Fan Mail Caroline Paul—former San Francisco firefighter, lifelong adventurer, and pilot—joins me for a wide-ranging conversation about her new book, Why Fly (launching February 24). We talk gyrocopters, paragliding, trikes, the “rat-tat-tat” rhythm of humor and terror in pilot stories, and the way aviation can become both refuge and mirror when relationships shift and life asks us to find our footing again. 📚 Pre-order Why Fly through my website here: https://literaryaviatrix.com/boo...
