You will probably figure the ending out without too much trouble - but the getting there will give the ride of a lifetime. I can't tell you how many times I put this book down and immediately picked it back up again, saying that I would read just one more chapter. Laurel Shields wakes up one morning and takes a home pregnancy test and finds she is pregnant, but there is a strong possibility that the father is not her husband, Dr. Warren Shields. The father could possibly be, Danny McDavitt, who is unhappily married and the father of a challenged boy. Dr. Warren has a practice with fellow doctor, Kyle Auster, who has been cheating Medicare with the help of his office manager, Vida Roberts. The FBI is auditing their books and Kyle and Vida plant damaging information on Dr. Warren trying to make him the fall guy. Dr. Warren, who has a problem of his own, turns from being mild mannered and a caring person to one who is mistrusting and volatile. He is tipped off to the planted information and in searching for it; he finds a love letter written to his wife. He now holds his wife and children hostage as he tries to find out who her lover is. The action is racheted up a notch when Dr. Warren's house is surrounded by sheriff deputies that are short on handling hostage situations. They are faced with trying to resolve the situation before nightfall and how to subdue Warren without endangering his wife and children. The action takes place in one day and I cannot remember a book that packed so much intensity in such a small time frame. You will find yourself racing from page to page trying to find out what is going to happen next.

As a former flight attendant, I found this a really enjoyable, fascinating read. Prudence Black goes beyond the mere details of the changing uniforms of Qantas since the 40's. She explores the growth of the Qantas empire and how it reflects the changing social and culutral environment of both Australia and the world. As I discovered, the first flight attendant was a trained nurse hired on an American airline to make women feel more comfortable during flight. From here Black details the evolution of the flight attendant from a predominantly male industry to become the most aspired to career for young, unmarried women in the 50's and 60's as it enabled women to travel and enjoy an amount of independence (and perhaps also throw them in the paths of wealthy businessmen). Then with the rise of the feminist movement, there was an outbreak of reversed discrimination where women were selected for roles over men. Black continues this theme through the decades until 9/11 and explores how the increased security measures and economic downturn once again has changed the roles of the flight attendant. The Flight Attendant's Shoe demonstrate how social context has shaped the changing uniforms of Qantas flight attendants over time until we come to the modern Morrissey Indigenous inspired uniform and how it compares to the uniforms of many other international airlines. The book includes plenty of photos and sketches of the uniforms and also many of the promotional material as well as input from Qantas flight attendants to emphasise her point. My only complaint is that I was very aware that neither of the two references to Qantas' main Australian competition - Virgin Australia - were not complimentary.
