She Wasn't Supposed to Fly: Told to Be Small. Born to Be Boundless. - Paperback

by S. T. Griffon (Author)

The morning her career disappeared, S. T. Griffon sat in stunned silence, staring at the life she had spent decades building and suddenly no longer recognized.

The titles were gone. The structure was gone. The armor was gone. What remained was a question she had outrun for years: Who am I if I'm not achieving?

Born into instability on the South Side of Chicago, Griffon was taught to expect little from life and even less from herself. She refused. She became a U.S. Army paratrooper, a single mother determined to break the cycle, and a corporate executive, building a life that looked like triumph from the outside. Inside, survival had quietly become a way of life.

This wasn't the first time she had to rebuild. But it was the first time she couldn't rely on the version of herself that had always carried her through.

When that career disappeared, everything she had used to define herself disappeared with it. What followed was the hardest and most necessary journey of her life.

She Wasn't Supposed to Fly is the story of what happens when the life you built stops feeling like yours, and what it takes to finally build one that does.

Because sometimes the life you were told wasn't possible is the one you were meant to claim.
