The anthology was compiled by Gary Doi with splendid
inspirational artwork by celebrated artist Roy Henry Vickers. Design and layout
was impeccably attended to, with each piece showcased in a unique way, relevant
to its topic.
“An eagle can reach great heights,” Doi shares in the
preamble, “by soaring on thermals and then gliding long distances using the
smallest amount of energy to rise above circumstances. To soar.”
Fly Like an Eagle
is a collection of short stories—real life experiences—that are deeply
personal, and spawn moments of reflection. “They probe the eternal question:
what gives you hope?” says Doi. Stories express endurance, triumph,
accomplishment and purpose. Stories span all walks of life and place. A sixty
year old grandmother struggling with weight issues describes her first time
competing in a grueling triathlon. A young teacher reflects on how a major
surgery changed her perspective on life. A librarian describes how greater
access to books is helping vulnerable children in Guatemala.
“The inspirational stories offer something very precious in today’s world—a gift of hope.”—Kevin Van Tighem, biologist, author and former superintendent of Banff National Park
Book proceeds benefit
SORCO, a rescue and rehab and release facility in the Okanagan for injured
raptors such as eagles, hawks and owls. Each year this non-profit organization
helps dozens of sick and injured raptors that were hit by vehicles, poisoned,
or found starving.
