Summary:

Twenty-thousand feet in the air is definitely not the best place to be making a life or death decision, but Skyla doesn't have a choice. When her plane is hijacked, she has to make a decision - die alone or take many more down with her.

Favorite Quote:
To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.
