Her aunt was a nun who popped pills and did time in Narcotics Anonymous. Her father grew up during the Depression, believed he'd be the next Frank Sinatra, and ended up working in the mills. His daughter, Lori Jakiela, spent her suburban Pittsburgh childhood watching Marlo Thomas in That Girl and dreaming of New York City.Instead, she got bad talent shows, a Junior Miss contest, and college in Erie, PA, where the big attraction was chicken wings. But years later, her Big Apple dreams were still going strong. With her twenties becoming a distant memory, Jakiela answered an airline ad promising a NYC home base, high-flying glamour, and three-day layovers in Paris.

Lori Jakiela thought she'd escape a boring life in Pittsburgh by taking a job as a New York-based flight attendant, which proved much more of a pain than expected. She thought her big break would be a book of poetry (she has a masters degree in that area); instead, she got a contract for this fairly decent (though slow moving at first) memoir.
