Identity's Architect
by Lawrence J. Friedman
Stick Figure
by Lori Gottlieb
A diary-style biography of a woman's coming-of-age in 1970s Beverly Hills describes a world in which she learned that "no one could ever like a girl with thunder thighs," and watched her life crumble as she developed a fierce reluctance to eat--winding up in the hospital when her "diet" took over her life. Reprint.
The Seat Beside Me
by Nancy Moser
Five airline passengers and their seatmates reform their view of God, the meaning of life, and the kindness of strangers when their plane crashes into an icy river. Original.
Exit Row
by Tammy L. Kling
EXIT ROW tells the story of what happens behind the scenes when an airplane crashes. It is the true, dramatic account of an Emergency Response Team’s operations immediately following the crash of American Airlines flight 965, which left Miami with 155 passengers filled with Yuletide joy, six flight attendants and two pilots. As Flight 965 was about to land in Cali, Columbia, just five days before Christmas, it unexpectedly crashed. Miraculously, four people, all sitting in the same row, and a dog in the baggage compartment, survived. All the other passengers perished. For the first time we are taken into the world of an Emergency Response Team, consisting of everyone from baggage handlers to airline executives. You will learn how team members are trained to deal with the families of the victims and their own grief. Following the style of Michael Crichton’s Airframe, the author reveals the various airline procedures for responding to a crash, including placing the remains of the crash victims in coffins always labeled with the same name, Jim Johnson. Finally, Tammy Kling evokes the pain and grief of the surviving families as well as the survivors themselves. She tells the moving story of how she eventually met and bonded one of the survivors, a woman whose parents were killed in the crash. Following in the tradition of the novel THE BRIDGE OF SAN LUIS RAY, EXIT ROW also contemplates the philosophical significance of a catastrophic event and how one single decision can alter the course of one’s life forever.
The Last Explorer
by Simon Nasht

Alive : The Story of the Andes Survivors
Read, Piers P
New York, NY, U.S.A.: Morrow/Avon, 1975. Reviewer: Pennsylvania, USA This book was amazing. There's really no other way to describe it. Read captures magnificently the true story of a rugby team from Uruguay, along with a few relatives and close friends, whose plane crashed in the Andes Mountains on the way to Chile, where the boys were to play against another rugby team. Amidst a sea of death and horror, the people who survived the initial plane crash are forced to take immediate action in order to preserve their lives and the lives of others around them. Only the hope of a rescue that never comes carries the boys through their first few days on the mountain. When they realize that the rescue has been called off, their adventure truly begins. This is a story of brotherhood in the purest sense. Stranded in the freezing Andes, cold, hungry, weak and desperate, the survivors struggle against all odds to remain alive.. ISBN: 038000321x. Gently Read/edge nicks/tight & Clean. Mass Market Paperback. Very Good. SURVIVAL AFTER AIRPLANE ACCIDENTS SHIPWRECKS ETC ANDES REGION HISTORY SOUTH AMERICA TRAVEL ADVENTURE. ( more information)
