THE NOVEL BY CHRISTOPHER LANEY

A soul-stirring adventure about finding your wings.

At home in the compelling realms of The Alchemist and Field of Dreams, Laney’s Flying Colors is richly told and impossibly vibrant. The story will stay with you long after the final page is turned.
— John Hart, six-time New York Times bestselling author

John Freeman has everything on track—until a chance encounter leads him to a mysterious grass airfield where his carefully constructed life begins to unravel. Forgotten by the modern world, the airfield is home to an old flight instructor who challenges everything John believes about success, choice, and the everyday magic we’ve learned to dismiss. Over one remarkable summer, John must decide whether to cling to the life he knows—or risk everything for the one he was meant to live.

Christopher Laney

Christopher Laney is a novelist, pilot, and lifelong believer that some of our most important moments happen when we stop long enough to question where we’re headed. Chris is drawn to everything flight represents—possibility, perspective, and the courage to leave familiar ground.

Those ideas soar through his fiction, articles, and essays, where he explores the questions we ask, the choices we make, and the moments that can quietly change the course of a life.
