WOW!
The Flight is an incredible book, so raw and powerful. Cammie's writing style and extreme honesty had my emotions all over the map. After reading the last page I just sat there, staring at the wall, feeling so lucky to have found this beautiful book. I bought the Kindle version, but I'm buying the hardcover because The Flight MUST be in my library. I have a lot of books, but only a few are my selfish books, that will never be lent to anyone. The Flight is one of those books. That's not to say I won't share this book with others, I'll just buy friends and family their own copy to cherish.Cammie is an inspiration. She has a beautiful soul that radiates off the pages as she shares her deepest and most private thoughts. Even if you haven't lost a child, you'll find yourself nodding throughout the book because grief is grief. We all experience it at some point so we understand that feeling, how it sticks to our bones and never sets us free. Cammie gives us the bright side of grief while admitting it will always be painful.I admire Cammie and appreciate that she shared her story with us. The Flight will stay with me for the rest of my life, and I'm okay with that.Highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend.

Just so very real.
I would recommend this book to any parent who has suffered thel loss of one of their children. I would recommend this be a reading assignment in Jr high. I'd like to see more expansion on the bullying because that too often is overlooked. The bullies supply the drugs with the fentanyl that kills. After just losing my nephew at 41 to fentanyl, this was a must read for me. Hid addiction also started with a damaged back and endless opioid s. He is now in heaven with Christopher and I believe they will form their own group. These children were loved by so many, yet some scum wanted the 200 dollars and cared not about their lives. Cammie did an excellent job and ill be purchasing this as gifts to my devastated family who couldn't fix my nephews addiction either. If there is a secure website or a way to donate I would be very interested. Perhaps we can put a no tolerance policy on bullying . it really destroys ones soul. Thank you for a beautiful read. I hope someday to sit on that plane headed for peace.This was phenomenal. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and God Bless!

Education and healing
Usually I fly through books when I read. This book is not just to be read, it is to be experienced. As a Registered Nurse and as a parent of a daughter who died from Fentanyl poisoning, every word resonated. Everything Cammie shared about her son’s struggle with ulcerative colitis rang true. I have cared for many patients in the past who were subjected to near barbaric treatment. It is painful to read of her journey through the opioid crisis, but it has been the most healing experience for me as a grieving mother. I would read a chapter, put it down, process the thoughts that were written, sob uncontrollably, then pick it up again. There is a passage about forgiveness that was pivotal for me. I strongly recommend this book to anyone in the medical field and the general public to learn the truth regarding opiates and addiction. Blessings to this author for sharing about her own child’s death to try save others.

Gut-wrenching, inspiring, educational and actionable all at once!
In The Flight, Cammie Wolf not only provides a moving tribute to her beloved son but also tackles the depth of the issue of addiction our country faces, together with specific ways on how to solve it. Knowing the difficult topic covered in this book, I expected it to be gut-wrenching, which it was. That being said, The Flight is not a book about grief. In fact, it’s hard to put it in a box. It’s about loss, it’s about love. More importantly, it’s about purpose. It’s about finding one’s path in the midst of tragedy and hardship. It’s a call for action for all of us to go on a journey of self-discovery to understand and define our life’s mission. Despite the heartache, it’s inspiring. It showcases that, if we are committed and passionate about tackling the world’s toughest societal issues, we can bring positive change at scale.

Exceptional read
I love this book so much. It left me with so many emotions. The way it’s written is so clever. It’s so honest. Its heart wrenching. It’s educational. So many parts of this story resonate with me….how people speak about addiction, the importance of manifesting what you want, using words that encourage and motivate…not those that keep you stuck in the past. The book really speaks to anyone dealing with loss and the anger, pain, and grief that go along with it and ultimately the importance of acceptance and forgiveness. The author has used her real life experiences, her strength, grief, and influence to create change that will save lives and provide support to those suffering from substance misuse.

The Flight: My Opioid Journey Book Review - MUST READ!
The Flight by Cammie Wolf Rice is available now in eBook and Physical Book⭐️⭐️⭐⭐⭐ Book ReviewThe Flight, My Opioid Journey is written by a mother who lost her son to an opioid addiction. I am speechless after reading this memoir. As a nurse who has witnessed opioid addiction and as a sister who has witnessed her brother go through an opioid addiction I was able to stop and think about this journey from a few different perspectives. I found myself stopping to cry and then process what I had just read. The courage it took for Cammie to write this book and share her journey of pain and suffering is amazing. I actually read this book about a month ago but felt that I didn't have the right words to write this review and give it the justice it so very much deserves. I am so thankful that Cammie put her experiences on paper for many to read and understand the struggles with opioid addiction. No matter what side of the addiction you are facing/witnessing, the struggle is real. People are losing their loved ones in so many ways to this horrific addiction. Thank you Cammie for sharing your journey and educating the world.
