About this book
When adventurer Sequoia Schmidt began a pursuit into the world of human flight, it was originally to understand her own emotions; specifically her fear. But what started with a skydiving license, lead to a life changing journey of more than she could have ever imagined.
Every step of Sequoia's life has been filled with trials of differing caliber. She has faced tragic loss and extreme catharsis, and she has faced each of these experiences in the same way: with persistence and forward movement. This next stint of life, which follows Sequoia's pursuit of extreme activities, she discovers fear can manifest in more ways than just jumping off a cliff, as she falls in love in the midst of her exploits. A powerful voyage of finding strength, and an intimate look into understanding the risks one woman is willing to take. From speed riding the French Alps, to BASE jumping the big walls of Brazil, this is a journey of love, passion, strength and commitment...all beginning with a Dream of Flight.
From the critically acclaimed author of Changing Gears and Journey of Heart, Sequoia has published a story seven years in the making. Whether it be skydiving, cycling, or climbing in the Himalayas, Sequoia passionately follows her adventurous spirit and articulately writes about her magnificent journeys, and this is yet another account of one of her incredible experiences.Frequently asked questions
