Book excerpt: In the early 1950s during the golden age of commercial air travel, the author Chris Valli became an "air hostess" for Trans World Airlines. She ultimately married her present husband, who at that time was a special agent for the FBI. In 1955 they settled down, along with the many millions of post-World War II families, to give birth to the revered, churchgoing "traditional" family...These reflections do not represent the textbook knowledge of sociology. They are viewpoints as seen through the eyes of a fifties stay-at-home woman during the dawn of our country's upwardly mobile, affluent society; an exploration of our "options as we go careening into 2,000 Anno Domini...an individual concerned with the course of our nations' spiritual evolution - when our nation's politicians, community leaders & philanthropic organizations are vying for a position that will enable them to score a victory in the race to cure the ills of our modern day society - a timely message with words of warning for the middle-aged baby boomers - a reminder of the danger of once again becoming political pawns - as they search for a spiritual renewal & return to a post-World War II stability."
