The restrictions imposed worldwide by the covid pandemic have exacerbated social isolation and speeded up societal changes. There is a greater need now for authenticity, bridges to self, others, and history. Moments in Flight: A Memoir is Jo-Ann Vega's contribution to the quest for re-connection. Set in the last half century of transformative cultural change, Moments in Flight shares personal voyages of discovery beyond traditional boundaries of gender and culture. The subtitle identifies the mega themes of the memoir: Brings the immigrant story full circle; recovers lost history; shares hard-earned practical wisdom. Crafted and with excerpts from 40 years' of writing and journaling, Moments in Flight also features useful websites, historical timelines and a Book Club Discussion Guide.
