Wake Up!: It's Time to Say Yes to Creating a Life Worth Loving

by Jackie Pflug

At age thirty, Jackie Pflug survived one of the deadliest hijackings in history. She had to rebuild her life from the ground up. It took incredible strength and endurance to recover from the physical and mental trauma of the hijacking. Her first book, Miles to Go Before I Sleep, captures that journey eloquently. She never expected that nearly four decades later, she'd have to start over again—brick by brick.

Part memoir, part inspiration, WAKE UP! shines a light on extraordinary tales and insights from ordinary moments throughout Pflug’s life. It is for anyone who's ever felt stuck in a life that doesn't quite fit them anymore. Throughout the years, Pflug had gotten so far away from herself that she didn't even recognize that she was suffocating her soul. That came with a huge price tag.

The wake-up call felt like a sucker punch. Life as she knew it was about to be turned upside down. It was devastating to discover that she had compromised her reality and values for so long that she no longer knew who she was. She didn't realize that her soul was begging to come out; it just needed an invitation.

Pflug was inspired to create something she never thought possible as her soul shined brightly—a life worth loving. A life worth loving looks different for all of us, but it all starts with saying yes. She recreated every aspect of her being. Pflug proves that it is never too late to reimagine who you're meant to be.
