Reeling from guilt and grief over a tragic loss, can an ambitious pilot earn the respect she craves?
Tris Miles is held back by her job as a First Officer for tiny Clear Sky Airlines. She needs to be a Captain--the only way she knows to prove her worth as a pilot and atone for a deadly mistake that cost the life of a loved one.
Tris accepts a prestigious job with Tetrix, Inc. where she hopes to advance quickly. But as the company's first woman pilot, she encounters resistance, marginalization, and harassment on a daily basis. Fortunately, Tris has one thing her co-workers can't deny--skill.
In the skies over Europe, Tris, her passengers, and crew are in real danger. Will Tris lead her passengers to a safe landing? And if this is the end, can she find the strength to forgive herself?

Review
Tris Miles is a heroine for our times. Set in the late 1990s, Flygirl by R.D. Kardon examines one tenacious woman's struggle to survive in a vocation dominated by men who want nothing more than to see her fail. Readers will fall in love with Tris, who is a force to be reckoned with. Based on Kardon's own experiences as a female pilot, Flygirl is written with both authenticity and heart.
-- T. Greenwood, author of Rust & Stardust, Where I Lost Her, and Two Rivers
In R.D. Kardon's debut novel, she has created an inspirational character in Tris Miles. Flygirl is vivid, energetic, and fast-paced. It is a story about striving to reach for your goals despite astronomical odds.
-- Jill G. Hall, author of The Black Velvet Coat and The Silver Shoes
The phenomenal debut novel from R.D. Kardon buckles you in for a nonstop flight of secrets and backstabbing. Kardon's prose and dialogue give life to honest characters with true emotional depth.
-- Mikel J. Wilson, author of Murder on the Lake of Fire and Death Opens a Window
Flygirl is an astounding peek behind the scenes of pilot life. You'll have to fasten your seat belt when you read this riveting story, as Tris Miles captivates and lifts you high above ground.
-- E.P. Sery, author of The Scent of Heat
A fantastic read! This book and the scenarios R.D. Kardon places before us fascinated me. I felt I sat in the cockpit as a silent observer, a part of the tension. This book portrays challenges woman still face today.
-- Lois Letchford, author of Reversed: A Memoir
