Growing up in Trafford, Pennsylvania - hometown of The
Love Boat's Lauren Tewes - Jakiela had dreams of
becoming famous and making it big. Inspired by her
childhood idol, Marlo Thomas in That Girl, she
always wanted to move to New York City and away from the
small town where her cantankerous father worked in the
steel mills. When she sees an ad from an airline company
promising a home base in the Big Apple and a jet-setting
lifestyle all over the world, she quickly signs up. But she
learns that being a flight attendant is far from glamorous.
Instead of Paris layovers in a pillbox hat and white
gloves, she gets Frankfurt in a one-size-fits-all polyester
uniform and apron. When her father is diagnosed with
terminal cancer, she returns to Trafford only to discover
that the writing career and life she always wanted were
right there at home - and that the grass in her own
backyard might just be greener than the one on TV.
