About this audiobook

Gina has no intention of marrying again following a disastrous divorce. She wants to focus on raising her son and building a career, not falling in love. But then she meets a spirited airman named David Scheff and everything changes. It doesn’t take long for him to convince her that marrying her soul mate might be a good idea after all. A member of the Air Force, David eventually becomes the flight chief for Air Force One, giving Gina the opportunity to shake hands with presidents William Jefferson Clinton and George W. Bush. It’s a great adventure! Still, once David retires from the military, they’re ready to enjoy a quieter life on a small farm in Ohio. Life has a way of throwing you off-course, though, and when David is diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of cancer, Gina learns the true meaning of standing by her husband not only in health but in sickness too. As Gina struggles to not fall apart as they face one devastating letdown after another, David shows her how to have grace under pressure and that you don’t need actual wings or even a plane to fly above your circumstances. David always knew he had the spirit of an eagle. This story tells how Gina discovered just how right he was.

About the author

Gina Scheff lived a rather routine life until she met her future husband David Scheff, who eventually served as the flight chief for Air Force One. Their once-in-a-lifetime romance inspired her to share their story of high-flying adventure, down home simplicity, and true love in the midst of his fatal bout with cancer. An accountant and food court manager by trade, Gina now puts words to paper to tell others about the amazing man who had the spirit of an eagle and showed her how to soar above any circumstance.
