Beskrivelse

'It was 1978. People didn't have home computers, video players, or answering machines. We rented our telephones from local phone companies and hand-wrote letters. The terms 'politically correct' and 'African-American' had not been coined. 'Eating disorders' and 'alternate lifestyles' were not yet common household phrases. Only strippers wore thongs, which made perfect sense to me, as they only caused one to gyrate their hynie in a desperate attempt to dislodge the bothersome wedgie.' So writes Sherri Van Ness, an unassuming girl from the burbs of Kansas who's about to embark on the adventure of her life when she signs up to become a stewardess. But it's much more turbulent than this doughy-eyed 19-year-old ever imagined as she tries to navigate past grouchy passengers, fly-by-night relationships and the unforgiving, relentless, humiliating, monthly weigh-ins. Some dreams come true. Others require a vomit bag. That's not to say Sherri doesn't enjoy herself. Au contraire! There are friends to be made and men to be made and the maid who made up her room in New York is so nice! Yes, the work is difficult at times and the money isn't always good, but there are perks: free flights and an endless supply of tiny vodka bottles and salted peanuts (peanut allergies hadn't been invented yet.) Like Dorothy Gale sans Toto, Sherri leaves Kansas and finds herself amidst a cast of characters as strange to her as the Scarecrow and the Munchkins were to Dorothy. Her whirlwind journey takes her from innocent, insecure stewardess to mature and confident flight attendant. Or does she? Book your flight now with this very enjoyable read, put your seat back in the upright position, and enjoy the ride!
