About the Book

You wouldn't think a novel about an old man trying to figure out his final days would be funny. But when it involves NASA and Homeland Security, a car and an airplane with vivid personalities, and timeless issues of love and loss, you get The Flight of the Pickerings. This tale takes the reader on an incredibly fun, poignant and memorable ride that chronicles a life long love and an unforgettable ending.

Review :
A mix of poignancy and humor, and the tender handling of a difficult and divisive subject. Readers will not easily forget the engaging characters. The truth of them drives the action, which in this case is soaring.--JC Weil, author of Eavesdropping: A Little Novel From the first few sentences, I was hooked. I'm not sure I remember reading a book that had me literally laughing out loud one minute, and then grabbing me in such poignant recognition of the frailty of aging.--Kathleen Hamilton You wouldn't think a novel about an old man trying to figure out his final days would be funny. But when it involves NASA and Homeland Security, a car and an airplane with vivid personalities and timeless issues of love and loss, you get The Flight of the Pickerings, a hilarious first novel by John Grayson Heide.--Andrea Granahan, author of It's Greek to Me Join John Grayson Heide's imaginative novel as he takes you on an incredibly fun, poignant and memorable ride. While the Pickering family deals with life transitions and challenges, the world around them becomes hysterically alive, expressive and opinionated! Heide has a unique and wonderful tale that is a page-turner, I read it through in one sitting. You will emerge with a smile on your face, new ideas to ponder and possibly even a better person than when you embarked!--Joan Tabb, Founder, Wednesday Noon Book Club of Sonoma County This is a book about LIFE---about the interconnectedness of everything. This deep inquiry into the realities of our lives is whimsical, really funny, and simultaneously profoundly honest in dealing with the issues of aging and death that face us all. Ultimately inspiring, this book belongs in your life!--Francis Rico Hayhurst, author of Deep Beauty
