Beskrivelse
This book is about the power of faith, love and hope to overcome difficult personal limitations. For the first four years of his life David Adams barely survived premature birth and repeated high fevers. When he began to recover, he was adopted by Gideon Adams, a man that created and supported the care facility that received him. Their deep relationship, encouraged by caregivers and teachers allowed David to overcome the inevitable learning difficulties that came from those first years. It gave him a willingness to be patient with himself, learning to focus his efforts and achieve understanding and skills that made him a loyal friend and an able Army Aviator. The most difficult years, earning his Commission as an Infantry Officer and surviving physical challenges like vertigo to earn his wings were supported by his wife, Lisa, who opened his mind and vision and gave him the determination not only to succeed but to do it within the demands of his faith. As an Aviation Advisor in the Korean Military Advisor Group, instructor pilot and Test pilot, and early unit commander he fought hard to succeed without compromise. He dealt with a seizure disorder that ended his ability to fly and limited his options for civilian employment. This a work of fiction but the struggles of living with limitations that have no visible manifestation are very personal to me. My hope is that readers will see that faith and love can overcome nearly impossible challenges.
