About Me	Rescued One Family's Miraculous Story of Survival By: Brian Brown with Eileen Chambers Sacramento, Calif: It was Memorial Day 2012, when fire captain Brian Brown, his wife, and youngest daughter gathered together to fly on his private plane from California to Idaho, to visit his eldest daughter and her husband, who were stationed there in the Air Force. Brown, who became a certified pilot in 2002, prepared his four-seat, bright yellow Cessna Skyhawk that he called LIMA. But what was planned to be a wonderful family gathering, quickly turned into a family’s worst nightmare, when the Browns encountered turbulent weather and their plane crashed into an isolated Idaho mountainside. In Rescued: One Family’s Miraculous Story of Survival (Harvest House Publishers), Brian Brown recounts the fateful events on May 26, 2012, that led up to the plane crash and the unforgettable 15 hours of danger, rescue efforts, and miracles that happened on the snow covered mountainside. Rescued takes readers through the fear and uncertainty that Brown and his family faced after discovering they were stranded with minimal food and clothing on a mountain that was the home of some potentially dangerous wildlife. As Brian, his wife Jayann, and daughter Heather, endured the physical pain of their injuries, they prayed they would be found. Their only hope was to stay awake and remain calm. Then a miracle happened –the ring of a cell phone. Though they missed that call, Heather was able to make one call to emergency. Brown details the uncertainty they faced while waiting for help, the harrowing rescue of his family, how his training as a fire captain helped him remain calm, and the faith that kept his family holding on to hope. “A day doesn’t pass without me thinking about the crash and the people who came to our rescue there on that mountain side,” says Brown. “And I am grateful…for my family, for the kindness of strangers, and for God who showed up in our moment of greatest need.” In the aftermath of the crash, the family was catapulted into the media spotlight when their story made national news headlines. Brown also faced his own person struggles with guilt and regret. Since the accident, Brown found the courage to fly again, and discovered a deeper, more meaningful faith and understanding for God’s plan through adversity. Rescued is a captivating story about a family in crisis, emergency plans for survival, and the incredible orchestration of local, state, and national rescue workers who brave unpredictable obstacles to accomplish the unimaginable.
