Some Angels Have Rotor Blades
Huge Congratulations to Darcy Guyant for his latest book launch: Some Angels Have Rotor Blades: A Tale of Heroic Actions, Living Legacy, and Gratitude.
Be advised: this one is a tear-jerker, especially for anyone involved in search and rescue.
Darcy has captured something I long to incorporate into my own stories, which is the mystery and miracle of the moment that survivor and rescuer come together in the universe, and then carry on their separate ways, most often never knowing how the experience influenced the lives of all the people involved. It’s a special bond that only lasts a fraction of our lives, but, in the best of circumstances, allows someone a full life beyond that moment they never might have had otherwise.
And never mind he brought this wonderful old relic of an aircraft, the HH-52 Seaguard, out of retirement for one more SAR case, and with a female flight mechanic to the rescue!
Here’s the blurb:
When Dale’s plans for a fun day on the water turns into a struggle for survival, he is left clinging to his overturned boat, hope dwindling with each passing minute. Just as his strength begins to fade, a Coast Guard helicopter unexpectedly appears on the scene, its crew risking their lives to pluck him from the frigid water.
Fast-forward forty years, and Dale’s world comes full circle. While exploring a museum with his grandkids he stumbles upon the very helicopter that once saved him!
This remarkable tale weaves together themes of survival, heartfelt gratitude, and the lasting impact of the rescuer’s bravery. It’s a poignant reminder of how courage and compassion can transform lives in unimaginable ways.
Perfect for parents and educators. This heartwarming story showcases the profound influence of one person’s actions on another’s destiny. It powerfully illustrates that even the most minor acts of kindness can create ripples that echo through generations, potentially shaping the future and sparking inspiration.
