Hannah Palmer's Flight Path is written as memoir, based on her blog. Memoir is an important facet of literature in that it allows readers to connect through shared memories and feelings, as opposed to relying mostly on imagination, like fiction. Memoir even connects readers to authors on a personal level. While memoir is autobiographical by definition, it is not an account of the author's full life story; in such, memoirs tend to focus on a singular topic or defining moment of the authors life. For Palmer, it is growing up in the disappearing neighborhoods of Atlanta, surrounding the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
