When Jenny and Mark first cross paths at a New York tech company, their lives couldn’t seem more different. Jenny was born in New York but raised as a Chinese American expat in Hong Kong, Taipei, and Kuala Lumpur, so different from Mark, who grew up on a Wisconsin dairy farm. Yet their shared love for adventure and deep curiosity about life pull them together, igniting a passionate bond. With two sons and thriving Silicon Valley careers, they build what seems like the perfect life. But in an instant, everything changes. When Mark’s small plane crashes after takeoff from Scottsdale Airport, he survives but is left with life-threatening burns, plunging their family into unimaginable turmoil. As Mark fights for his life at the Arizona Burn Center, Jenny's world shatters—yet through a series of miracles, flickers of hope emerge. Forever Fly Free tells the poignant story of Jenny’s transformative journey—one marked by love, loss, and a resilience she never knew she possessed. As tragedy strikes again, Jenny is forced to look within, rediscovering herself in the process. In the face of heartache, she rebuilds her life with newfound strength, learning that love can heal in ways she never imagined. This is the story of an ordinary woman thrust into extraordinary circumstances, who rises above it all with a deeper sense of gratitude, purpose, and a heart open to love once more.
