A story of self-discovery, leading to forgiveness, redemption, and healing. Flight Instructions: A Journey through Guilt to Forgiveness is a touchingly honest memoir – the story of a decades-long journey that began when author Kathleen P. Perkins answered an inner call. This call was a summons ferocious enough to wrench her from her husband of fourteen years and their three young children. Loosed from her family, severed from the life she had known for over thirty years, she uncovered a powerful spiritual dimension which eventually forced her to take her hands from her eyes – and the shield from her heart.
