Journey to Cloud Nine begins in a setting where the main character “Jerry” seems to be lost, he seems to be lacking his moral compass since he has always been following his mother’s advice, never stop working and follow the safe road.
As the book progressed you seeJerry go through a journey where he gets to explore and see what his life would be like if he would have been courageous and followed his heart instead of just simply doing what is safe. The author does this in a very interesting way that makes you consider the decisions that we have taken in life. Have we always traveled the safe road and kept ourselves from trying things that might seem less safe but could be greatly rewarding if things play out in the way that we want.
It’s always interesting to see how an author Interweaves the character’s two alternate worlds and/or points of view. The book gracefully examines specific moments of Jerry’s life. Since the book is not too long you can keep both alternatives in your mind and see what the book is trying to show you.
The tone of the book is one of self-reflection and deep thought on how we make decisions in critical moments in life. Will we choose work over family? Will you choose a safe carrier over your passion, will you jump at the chance of love or just be a fly around the fire?
This book opens your mind to the possibilities of what your life could be like if you dare to be courageous and seek to live a life in cloud nine.
Now that I have read this book, I am more curious about the author’s other book Getting Confi.

Jordan Gross’s book “Journey to Cloud Nine” is a parable that is hopeful and uplifting. It reminds us that it’s never too late to make our dreams come true, that no one but ourselves has control over our lives, and that we indeed are the pilot of our own plane. As Mr. Gross writes: “We choose the path we take. We write the story we wish to tell. We fly our own planes across the sky.” I recommend this book.

This book illustrates the realities and possibilities of the main character’s choices. Which leads to the reader thinking about the “what if’s” and thank goodness of their own decisions. Are you ready to journey to cloud nine?
