"An absorbing read."
-- Kirkus Reviews
"Haunting, yet inspirational."
-- Publishers Weekly
On Thanksgiving eve 2011, Karen Perry's life changed forever when her three young children and their father died in a plane that crashed into Superstition Mountain in Arizona. The story made national headlines and was featured on the Oprah Winfrey Network as part of its Super Soul Sunday series. Everyone wanted to know -- how does a mother comprehend, let alone process, such a loss?
Angels Three takes readers deep inside Karen Perry's world of aviation, the challenges of parenting special needs children, and the indescribable pain of every parent's worst fear come true. This skilled pilot and grieving mother is left to search for clues about what happened that night, and why. Her search for the truth leads to a startling revelation, legal battle with the Federal Aviation Administration, and a troubling question: Was the crash avoidable?
From the author of "Burning Shield: The Jason Schechterle Story" -- an "inspiring true story" (Kirkus Reviews) that "celebrates the resilience of the human spirit" (Publishers Weekly) -- comes another gripping biography, a tragic and ultimately hopeful story of perseverance in the face of unimaginable loss.

"I read 'Angels Three: The Karen Perry Story' with a heavy heart. The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) had concerns with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) airspace changes before this tragedy occurred. I applaud Karen for her bravery in writing this book and sharing the lessons to be learned. By telling her story I am hopeful the memory of the six victims -- including her three children and their father -- will make a difference by educating pilots and policymakers so this kind of tragedy never happens again."
