At 30,000 feet, she learned to hold her head high—even when the skies weren’t calm. In this heartfelt debut, By the Grace of a Flying Swan, Nooraini Zainal Abidin invites you into the inner world behind the smile and the service of a flight attendant.
More than a story of travel, it’s a journey of transformation—navigating turbulence, discovering beauty in chaos, and finding power in silence.
With grace, vulnerability, and poetic reflection, she shares how she grew not just wings—but the strength to fly.
For anyone who’s ever chased a dream, worn a uniform, or tried to stay composed when life was anything but, this book will speak to your soul.
