Publisher's Synopsis
Ralph always thought of himself as a piece of unclaimed baggage left at the airport, spinning around the carousel, waiting for someone to claim him and take him home. Instead of being bitter his entire life, he changed his narrative and showed the world that unclaimed baggage still had worth.

With his fragmented family and friends by his side, he built a successful career culminating in managing the flight department of a Fortune 500 company.
