Jumping Through Clouds: Surviving a Son's First-jump Skydiving Death Jane Melbourne

Jumping through clouds is prohibited because it's like driving through fog-the skydiver doesn't know where he is and can't see where he's going. Jumping Through Clouds is reserved for families of victims. Or so it seemed to one victim's mother when her son died of injuries suffered on his first day of instruction. Blinded by grief, blocked from knowing what had happened by conflicting accounts of the accident, she didn't know where she was. Nor where her search for information would take her. A true story. A memoir both personal and political. The book to read before you or someone you love tries skydiving.
