Flight Risk
A woman is forced to face her past in a heartbreaking and triumphant novel of old wounds and family secrets by award-winning author Joy Castro.
Isabel Morales is a successful Chicago sculptor hiding a brutal family history—one not even her husband knows. After decades of turning her back on her past, she’s forced to return to Appalachia when she receives news of her estranged mother’s death.
But going back means revisiting the traumatic childhood she escaped—and the family that cast her out when she needed them most. Back on the land she has inherited, she’s flooded with memories of the forest where she once roamed free, of her beloved lost brother, and of the old house in the West Virginia hills where she grew up. Her mother has left her another legacy, too, which reveals secrets that Isabel is only beginning to understand.
As forces bear down and threaten to take what she has left, it’s time for Isabel to step into her power, reclaim her roots, and finally confront the painful memories that have kept her from the life she truly wants.

Disappointed
Was really liking the book until she inserted the bit about President Trump. That was totally unnecessary and cheap! Guess this will be my one and only book of hers that I will read!

Too woke
You can tell the author comes from academia because it is so woke. Also, it was flowery and verbose , like she was required to have a certain amount of words in her book before she could submit it for publication.

Stand Alone
Very eloquently written book it even seemed a little lyrical which I really don't usually like. I have to admit I had to look up a few words (several word in fact, probably why it took me a little longer than usual). However, even though it was a very different type of story for me, I did enjoy it. No eye rolling with this one. Very deep story on how one death affects a person so much that it has an impact on the future. I liked Isabel, poor Hispanic/white female whom rubbed elbows with blue bloods, I think I continued reading the story because of her. I totally rooted for her the entire book.

an emotional rollercoaster…
my lesson learned is that you must acknowledge your past, forgive yourself and others before you can move forward, heal and love. The past is part of who we are but does not define who we might become. I loved this book- thank you Joy Castro

After reading the first third, I felt like a flight risk. This book suddenly morphed into a melodramatic
mess that went nowhere. I suspended belief fairly early on, when Isabel (with no money) put herself through four years of NYU (probably about $55,000 a year) and then graduate school. Isabel is overwrought for most of the book & despite her sad, emotionally abusive childhood, I found her character unsympathetic. The ending was so preposterous, it was laugh-out-loud funny.

Isobel Morales is an artist who lives with her husband in Chicago. She has a tragic family history that she keeps secret. But when she returns to Appalachia for her mother's funeral, secrets have a way of coming to the surface...
I enjoyed this book. I had read a review where the person said the author used verbose language but I did not think that was the case. I did think that it was beautifully written and kept me interested from the first page to the last. Highly recommended.

good until it got political.
I was enjoying the book a lot, but then she had to bring the 2016 election into it, and that is when I was done. We all have our own beliefs and ideals, it why spoil a good book by letting the Americans choice ruin it.

If trash had garbage, this would be it.
The first 50% of this book was painful to read, story wasn't going anywhere, no plot. It's rare I DNF a book but I was about to with this one, but then I started to see a small sliver of hope when the story got a little interesting. That didn't last long. It crashed and burned when the author had to bring in the 2016 election of President Trump, talking about how her woke protagonist turned into a raging snowflake, crying and blubbering to the point of having a breakdown. Really? This had WHAT to do with the story? Perhaps this author needed a cry circle and hot cocoa, but I certainly didn't. The book was just more and more of Isabel in her own head, depressing and unrealistic. She's dirt poor but puts herself through a few years at NYU, she's groomed as a sex slave to some guy she meets at an art gallery? These are just some of the major points in her life that are never explained. Lazy writing, IMO. They were mentioned and alluded to but that was it. Not much story really happens here and it was severely lacking in any type of emotional connection to anyone in the book. I will never pick up a book from this author again. I have always read books to escape for a little while, to get my mind out of the chaos of this world... I don't need some author's political agenda interfering with my happy place. Good riddance.

Heartwarming story and beautiful writing
The book begins in Chicago, where Isabel is a successful artist, and follows her back to Appalachia, where she faces a traumatic past. It's an introspective novel that illuminates how intolerance induced Isabel to run away, and how hiding her history affected her marriage. Her character shows development as she gains insight and begins to see the world afresh.
Along the way there is time to enjoy Castro's writing. Her descriptions of the natural world are among my favorite parts of the book.
"Sometimes, lying on my back on a bed of moss or pine needles, gazing up at the jagged patch of blue between treetops far above, I felt strange explosions of joy in my chest, as if my very rib cage had opened to the sky and sunlight could flow down into my heart."

We all have secrets to hide
This is the story of a mixed-race backwoods child who escapes her past, becomes a successful artist in New York and marries into Chicago society. Life is mostly perfect until she has to go home for her mother's funeral.
I identified with heroine Isabel on many levels. She's an Appalachian native; I am only two generations removed from the "hollers." She doesn't talk about her roots; it's fairly recent that I learned to embrace mine. Her mother showed her love in ways that were difficult to understand; I doubted my mother's love more often than I believed in it. Neither of us talks much about when we became pregnant. Our husband's don't know our full history. We both have secrets. We don't like to reveal our secrets.
Which secrets does Isabel face when she goes home? How does it change her life?

I loved this book. Joy Castro has created a character, Isabel, who is so badly scarred, so deeply flawed, that I found myself unable to put the book down because I just had to know what would become of her. And I’m going to have to quit picking on Amazon First Reads. The last few that I’ve read have been great!

This takes place in West Virginia and Chicago.
I wish I could give it 10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
It did take me a few chapters to really understand exactly was going on.
There is so much sadness and complete truth in this book, it will leave you completely exhausted at the end.
If you believe in rag to riches, this is your book, but at what cost does rag to riches cost you.
This really is about the real meaning of home and what it means to you.
I admire Isabelle’s capacity to forgive her mother. I had 1/2 the experience she did, and haven’t been able to forgive mine.
The real hot mess in this saga is Helene, and there is no forgiveness for her a**.
The one thing that was pointed out to me was about childhood food. You will have to read this and find out what I mean. God Bless Kraft and macaroni and cheese!
Going to be hard to find another book to read after this one!
Loved Button & Ivy!
If you are from the ‘holler’ country ~ READ this!

You can’t judge a book by its cover nor can you judge this book by the summary write up.
“Flight Risk”, by Joy Castro, is an unusual read that crosses and combines genres. It changes place and time with little or no warning and you’ll need to pay attention as the story unfolds. There are many boxes to unpack to get to the truth of this tale: an abusive childhood, fleeing from Appalachia to NYC as a young adult seeking identity and finding carrots being dangled that offer opportunities offering success and entry to the world of the elite but having strings tying her to the past sins of her mother.
When love finally does enter her life, another mother figure joins the story already over full of mother. From desperately poor in Appalachia to Chicago’s Golden Mile, Isobel peels away the layers of her life while facing multiple life altering challenges. Will she be able to face the demons “at home” in West Virginia, will her marriage survive, what will she do with her inheritance? Lots to uncover in this engaging, fast paced read📚

strong finish
Everything about Isabel is not really what it appears—her face, her name, her lack of history. As her past unfolds, confronts her, and begins to resolve, the reader has time to fall in love with the writing. Subtle references to literature sneak in. Then, later, they dovetail. I recommend it.

The storyline was good and kept me reading. The author definitely lives on the left side of the political aisle. Pick any current social issue and she’s inserted it into the story. It seemed a little forced and detracted from the flow of the storyline.

Smart, emotional story of an independent woman
Isabel is independent of necessity—struggling to rise above a violent and deeply traumatic childhood, finding her artistic voice and human connection.

Great Gatsby morphs to Hillbilly Elegy & Hunger Games. With a bit of Deliverance & Erin Brockovich
I chose this Amazon First Read for its promise of “cultural heritage fiction,” with a protagonist named Isabel Morales. I hoped for a feminist of color. Spanish or Mexican or maybe Portuguese? Meh. Isabel’s drug and alcohol-addled, White mother—who is also a racist—said, “Your daddy was Hispanic. I don’t know; Mexican or something.” Frida Kahlo is mentioned, as are a melange of ethnic cuisines, Tito Puente, and Celia Cruz, but dear Isabel admits that she “knew no Spanish, danced no salsa, had never pounded a molcajete.”
This book has a mix of genres, starting with Isabel as Cinderella who has a wicked MIL. Unlike Gatsby, evil MIL comes from old money, more like Tom and Daisy Buchanan. Isabel, who is secretly pregnant, flies away home to “Hillbilly Elegy” land—where she must find herself. Alas, the plot meanders, loses itself, manages to recover, and then zooms to a abrupt but surprisingly HEA ending. That said, I did not expect to read about the cultural heritage of Appalachia.
After I reading, I let my thoughts wander for several days, until it settled “on the sandy floor of comprehension.” Well, not really, but I do recall the author’s words. I wonder if I’ll ever un-imagine this gem: “. . . old gray drapes sagged like hanged nuns toward the floor.” Or forget this. “. . . Proustian scents of sawdust and seed corn.” Beaucoup de temps perdu?

Risks
All of life is a risk. Joy Castro’s novel is a perfect example of all of life’s risks. It is an example of how courageous people can be by facing their fears. Great read.

Current issues, lots of drama, romance
This is such an ambitious book with so many current issues discussed and included. I give it 3.5 stars because it was all just a bit too much for me to find believable. And yet, I really appreciate the attempt to get folks to think about rural poverty, the effects of coal mining on communities (In my youth I was a surface coal mine inspector - a truly naive one.), the pervasiveness of drugs, the lack of opportunities, and the hopelessness in those communities. The threats of violence were by no means exaggerated. If anything, that was underplayed. I have never had a cousin make and sort of sexual advance, but have had a first cousin marry a second cousin several times removed. I suppose that aspect was included to increase our main character's alienation from West Virginia, but it was a stereotype I wish had not been included.
I really, really liked the inclusion of information about Haiti. That is a subject also dear to my heart. I taught ESL to adult immigrants for seventeen years, including a number from Haiti. The immigrants come here to work in my community 's numerous poultry processing plants. My part of semi rural America has a large immigrant population. Haitian immigrants live across the street from me and Hispanics next door without major problems. Personally, I think that while America continues to send aid to Haiti, we also need to allow more Haitians to immigrate.
The romance was truly the stuff of dreams.

A disaster
This book was such a disappointing waste of time. Obviously this author has not spent a week in the South.... cheap stereotypes so common of people who've never lived here.... grasping liberal ideas. She really went off rails.

From the moment I opened this book I enjoyed the way Joy Castro wrote—I knew right away I was not going to put this book down until I finished it and I laid other activities aside to complete the story. A well done tale.

As I contemplated the main character’s troubled life story, it occurred to me what makes her story truly interesting is her unpacking her life as she worked through her issues-the introspective approach. Maybe this is why I like dysfunctional genres. I noticed as I read reviews that some were bothered by her political leaning. It’s her story. I hardly noticed. My negative was the title. I kept forgetting since I read in my kindle.

FLIGHT RISK by Joy Castro is a compelling and emotional story of family secrets, escaping the past and finding peace. Isabel Morales has become a successful artist and sculptor. She is married to a wealthy doctor from an affluent Chicago family and leads a glamorous life that is a far cry from her traumatic and poverty-stricken childhood in Appalachia. Even her husband has no idea of the deeply-buried secrets of her past. When she learns her estranged mother has died in her prison cell, Isabel is forced to return to West Virginia and face her remaining extended family that cast her out so many years before. As one secret after another are revealed, Isabel’s carefully constructed world begins to crumble. Will she be able to acknowledge the past and find the strength to forgive herself and others and move forward with her life? There are many important issues discussed throughout the story that make it a timely and thought-provoking read. The dramatic contrast between the very rich and very poor is strikingly portrayed. I enjoyed this engaging novel and look forward to reading more from Joy Castro. FLIGHT RISK was one of Amazon First Reads picks for October.

Learning to Risk
I haven't known Joy Castro til now. Flight Risk has touched me to the marrow. I'm a writer. Castro has inspired me to be ...not just more honest in my writing , but humbly honest. To write in a way that touches the world, that makes the world a better p!ace, to reach beyond the heart of the reader to that place in the gut where we all truly live. I cried my way through this book, wanting to tell my own story...my real story. I am grateful to Joy Castro for the profound change she has wrought in me. Now, back to the beginning of the book...a second read to cast away my expectations, my own shadow, and let her words cut through me, remake me, strengthen me, teach me how to be my real self.

How the past can shape the future
A slow unraveling of the story. Moving forward with frequent backflashes. Sometimes I dislike that in a novel, but it worked well in this one. Not entirely sold on the romantic resolution, which just didn’t add up to me. Lots to unpack, would be a good book club selection. I think at least some aspect of Isabel’s life will feel familiar to many women.

One of the best
5 stars for the story, the way it was written, and the main character. The story unfolds delicately and in a way that made me want to keep reading and I didn't want the book to end. Pieces of life unfold, memories and present day. The characters are so real, raw. I couldn't predict how the book would end.

Very deep and intriguing
Sometimes I felt like I couldn’t figure out the storyline but the book was too good to put down. Isabel was So interesting and compelling. Great spotlight on what troubles much of our society today.
