The Long Flight Home by B.B. & J.D. Aubrey
This is the amazing true story of the individual life journeys of two teenaged pen pals, one from the U.S.A. & the other from England. After being separated for over four decades, a series of unlikely events brought them back together.
For the young dreamer who longs to see the world beyond their immediate circumstances
For the adventurous
For the person disappointed in love
For the single parent who struggles
For the person who feels rejected, alone and betrayed
For the disadvantaged facing the hurdles of adversity
For the person who searches for the humor beyond the pain
For the person who believes there is no such thing as coincidences
For the person who struggles to believe there is a purpose and plan for their life
For the person determined to get up one more time than they fall down
When obstacles feel like mountains
More than anything, this story is about hope.

Beth’s bio
B.B. was born in a small coal camp town in Southeastern Kentucky. As a divorced single parent, she became a safety inspector and mine safety and first aid trainer, eventually becoming one of a handful of women in Kentucky who obtained First Class Mine Foreman’s Certification in the 1980’s.
When demand for coal took a downturn, she rebounded with a career change to nursing. She completed two nursing programs, then relocated with her children to Lexington, KY where the three of them enrolled in a large university together. As a fulltime student, she worked full time as a Registered Nurse.
Over her 34-year nursing career, she worked in a variety of practice settings, volunteered on medical missions to Brazil, Ecuador and Russia, and retired as a correctional nurse at a large prison. She devoted herself to family, education and career, putting her personal life on a twenty-nine-year hold after a painful divorce. In 2015, everything changed.
