Jill Hoffman was born into a family of aviation pioneers, the daughter of world-famous pilot Dick Rutan and the niece of legendary aerospace designer Burt Rutan. Growing up surrounded by innovative minds and milestone-setting achievements, Jill decided at a young age to carve her own path and leave a unique contribution to this world. She discovered early on that the mindset of a successful aviation legend translates differently for a small-town girl.
At its heart, the book delves into the turbulence of an unconventional life that defies convention at every turn. It's a blend of memoir and how-to guide, encapsulating a life journey colored by the limitless possibilities of the sky met with the challenges on the ground.

Intertwined within these personal episodes are snippets of encounters with renowned figures such as Elon Musk and Michael Jackson. Each chapter concludes with reflections, life lessons, and actionable takeaways.
This memoir follows a life that refuses traditional expectations at every corner, making it a particularly resonant read for those feeling adrift or stuck in life, especially after experiencing failure.
