How does a young woman, on death watch in a Missouri mental ward, overcome decades of mind-crippling fear? Chief Master Sergeant Katherine Cooper reveals her odyssey through paralyzing depression to a fulfilling life as a high-ranking Air Force noncommissioned officer, educator, professional flutist and woman of faith. With her inspiring story, Kathy illuminates God’s path to deliverance and peace for anyone suffering emotional traumas — especially women and men who choose to “fly solo” in life.
