About the Book

Views from the Cockpit: The Journey of a Son - 5th Anniversary Edition Views from the Cockpit: The Journey of a Son is a memoir born from pain and reflection. Page by page, year by year, tender father-son memories of airplane watching transform into a nightmarish, turbulent family drama. With nearly 1,000 new words and added insights, the 5th anniversary edition dives deeper into the heart of the author's journey. Upon the discovery that his father had been the victim of elder abuse as his health was rapidly deteriorating, the author finds himself reevaluating the decisions his father made throughout his life. This probing dissection of a man he thought he knew reckons with disloyalty, despair, and unspoken words. The unshakable ending remains, but the new edition adds more complexity to interpersonal dynamics. Through sharp, sometimes hilariously brash analysis, decorated in plane metaphors and imagery, the author bares his soul, expressing his commitment to truth with sincerity and transparency. He reaches for forgiveness, understanding, and compromise in the face of uncompromising rigidity. The additional words add deeper emotional layers to these reflections, making the journey more relatable and profound, inviting the readers to share his emotional journey. Ultimately, he contemplates a different "flight path" from past lessons and encourages readers to do the same. The enhanced narrative explores new angles of his father's legacy, offering a more nuanced perspective on forgiveness and understanding. A must-read for sons, fathers, families, or readers who appreciate robust and emotive writing, this anniversary edition offers a compelling narrative. It sparks deeper conversations about family dynamics, forgiveness, and personal growth.

Review :
Writer's Digest, Nicole Howard (starred review - 5 stars)--"I'm overwhelmed by the *gorgeous* language in this book...descriptive magic that reminds me of Alice Sebold's breathtaking phrasing. So many stellar descriptions stopped me in my tracks so that I could turn the phrasing around and around in appreciation. As the sensory details continue to bring the story to life, we find ourselves carried along in a fine cadence, as the plot progresses well, with no lulls in the middle. There is never a weak portion of the story. The author has crafted a series of gut punches that bring up all kinds of sense memories and imaginings for the reader. Fine transitions are well-crafted, and dialogue stands out with its variations, inner dialogue, movement, and settings." Nonfiction Authors Association, Awarded Bronze-- "Views From The Cockpit is a very well constructed amalgamation of a biography and memoir...surprisingly confessional, and quite graphic...it serves the narrative in a beneficial way and moves it forward in a manner that is exemplary. If you would like to read a book that features the relationship between a father and son or a parent and a child or just want to read good writing, you should read Views From The Cockpit. The ride that it takes you on may be filled with turbulence, but the landing makes it worthwhile." Penguin Random House, Michael McConnell--"...Victory is a talented writer. He has written a compelling page-turner in a style that is personally reflective. Victory's representation of his father bursts with love and awe. The questions of family, loyalty, honor, and truth emerge and will resonate with just about everyone. With an incredible ending that you must read to believe, this book does not disappoint." Book Life Prize by Publishers Weekly--"Personal memoirs of family are common, but Victory's stands apart through its unflinching portrayal of complicated family dynamics. What emerges is a complex portrait of a father and son whose love persists despite--and in the midst of--broken bonds and betrayals. Victory offers a tender story which benefits from the integration of its central plane metaphor. Prose is vivid, clear, and pleasantly descriptive." Endeavor Literary Services, Glenn McMahan--"The book expresses strong passion, which makes for good writing. Clearly, Ross' heart is in the book and rarely lacks emotion..." Sefina Hawke's Books--"Views from the Cockpit: The Journey of a Son was a well-written memoir that touched on topics that affect many people today...I can only hope I never have to experience such things." Books for Books--"...sent my emotions to the highest of highs and the lowest of lows...amazing."
