Leslie Johansen Nack Why Leslie loves this book

Written with a brave heart and unwavering courage, Leeb tells the story of her sacrificed childhood at the hands of her father and mother, who both betray her in different ways. Which is worse? Who can answer that? I can relate because my parents betrayed me in the exact same way. Family sexual abuse is a curse and a crime, and willful blindness to the acts being committed against a child is an out-and-out blasphemy. Recovering from wounds this deep takes a lifetime. Some people never recover. Leeb has done the hard work and now stands as a pillar in our world with wisdom and strength to share. Read this book for hope and if you’re suffering from such crimes, know that there are others who have recovered and who have mostly normal lives.

Leslie Johansen Nack Why Leslie loves this book

26 seconds starts as a tale by a big sister who lost her pilot-brother in an airline accident, but ends with inspiration and heartfelt passion about aviation safety, truth-telling, safety checks, and why the public should not accept the conclusion of any crash as merely “pilot error” without asking questions that reveal all of the underlying conditions that put that flight in danger. Learning that Boeing and Airbus prioritize money over safety wasn’t a huge surprise. After all, we live in a capitalist society. But that doesn’t mean we have to accept the answers given to the public after a crash that blame “pilot error” as the truth when, in fact, a variety of other reasons planes crash aren’t even listed. Thanks for writing your tragic story of losing your brother, so the rest of us can learn the whole truth. My father died in a small plane he was…

What is this book about?

Much as Eric Schollsberg's Fast Food Nation made people think about the way we eat, this provocative memoir and exposé challenges readers to question why, given its long history of cover-ups and systemic safety gaps, we continue to trust the aviation industry.

On a stormy late May morning in 2008, TACA Airlines Flight 390 crashes at one of the most dangerous airports in the world, Honduras's Toncontin International Airport. Five people die in the crash—among them Rossana D'Antonio's brother, pilot Cesare D'Antonio. Suspecting Cesare will be made a scapegoat for the accident, as so often happens to pilots, Rossana decides…
