A Simple Twist of Faith

摘要

It was november 2003, and my two sisters and i were headed to Paris on a red-eye from Newark. Our plane hit a rough patch, and the three of us reacted to the heavy turbulence in ways that were as diverse as our personalities. Shelly, a year younger than I at 30, shot me an angry look for having planned this trip, while I, in my typical reaction to all things that make me nervous, laughed hysterically. Kristen, the youngest at 16, appeared totally cool, reading her book, seemingly oblivious to the plane's stomach-turning dips.
