Wings Across America

Michael Rencavage's second book, Wings Across America, is an inspirational work
of non-fiction detailing the miracle of his sister Kimberly Furman's triumphant
defeat of leukemia and the amazing adventure to follow: a cross-country tour of
the U.S. from northeastern Pennsylvania to San Diego, California in a
single-engine Piper Cherokee aircraft. Kimberly overcame her illness largely
thanks to a bone marrow transplant from the author himself in March 2001, and
afterwards, the siblings felt compelled to raise money together for the Leukemia
and Lymphoma Society. Michael's longtime career as a pilot gave him an edge when
seeking ways to captivate people, and thanks to the help of dozens of generous
people, the two had a wonderful trip planned in almost no time.

Wings Across America explores the heavy themes of the fear of losing a loved one
to disease and a new appreciation for life after witnessing such a miracle as
Kimberly's defeating it. The course of the story takes many tones, from that of
seriousness to happiness and even wit, and the depth of its overall message
transcends our definition of powerful to embody a moving, exciting and
victorious read.

Join Michael and Kimberly's journey across America as they experience beautiful
views of the country from above -- yet much lower than any large plane could
achieve -- which the reader can experience thanks to Kimberly's natural affinity
for photography. Meanwhile, read as the two make new friends in almost every
state they visit, re-route due to inclement weather, and find solace in the
unexpected help of people and organizations nationwide.

If at all possible, please download and enjoy this book, as 50 percent of all
author/publisher proceeds will be donated to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society
