The book tells Don's story, starting when he was a young boy growing up in poverty. Then, Don had very little, but he did dream about becoming a pilot. He walked three hours both ways for days trying to have even just a conversation with the pilots to learn more. With this vigor and determination, Don set off on a journey that led him to fly planes in the United States Air Force, work as a commercial pilot for United Airlines for decades, and ultimately become a captain himself.

Don has discovered his passion for helping others realize their own potential. When Dreams Take Flight chronicles the story of Don's life and helps readers look to their own dreams. The lessons that he learned about how to live life with passion and ultimately success are contained within the book for everyone to read and take hold of in their own lives.

Smith's new book When Dreams Take Flight will serve as an inspiration to everyone who has ever struggled to attain dreams.
