> And for those of you in Canada who have already heard me mention this

> Patron remembers this scene from a novel, which may be at the

>
> Small town woman wins a contest of some kind and wins a plane ride.
> Problem is, she is terrified of planes, but feels pressured to go
> through with it. The pilot tells her to signal if she wants the plane>
> to head back to land, and when in her nervousness she gives the pilot a
> thumbs-up, he takes it as a "go higher" signal. As you can imagine, no
> fun for the terrified woman.
>
> Patron was thinking it might have been in a Kingsolver or Flagg novel.

> Ring any bells for anyone out there?
