About the Book

Jill Hoffman was born into a family of aviation pioneers, the daughter of world-famous pilot Dick Rutan and the niece of legendary aerospace designer Burt Rutan. Growing up surrounded by innovative minds and milestone-setting achievements, Jill decided at a young age to carve her own path and leave a unique contribution to this world. She discovered early on that the mindset of a successful aviation legend translates differently for a small-town girl.
At its heart, the book delves into the turbulence of an unconventional life that defies convention at every turn. It's a blend of memoir and how-to guide, encapsulating a life journey colored by the limitless possibilities of the sky met with the challenges on the ground. From the exhilarating moments of witnessing aviation history unfold, courtesy of her family's escapades, to grappling with the intricacies of growing into adulthood, this narrative is an exciting ride in self-discovery.
Readers will journey alongside Jill through iconic events like her father's record-breaking global flight and his rise to fame, the turbulence of being a child of divorce, the highs of founding a company, and the lows of facing its subsequent failure. Intertwined within these personal episodes are snippets of encounters with renowned figures such as Elon Musk and Michael Jackson. Each chapter concludes with reflections, life lessons, and actionable takeaways.
This memoir follows a life that refuses traditional expectations at every corner, making it a particularly resonant read for those feeling adrift or stuck in life, especially after experiencing failure. Additionally, aviation and space enthusiasts will be captivated by Jill's anecdotes from her upbringing surrounded by the Rutan family. "How to Build an Airplane in Your Living Room" does an excellent job of chronicling a life marked with homebuilt airplanes in living rooms and a girl's search for meaning from a life of never fitting in. This narrative offers an exhilarating exploration of self-discovery told with a lighthearted touch, recounting Jill's many exploits in her journey from a lost little girl from a small airport town in California to a woman who has learned to embrace her unconventional life.
