When she was about to turn five, a little girl named Rae Hansen invited Richard Bach to her birthday party. Though deserts, storms, mountains, and a thousand miles separated them, Rae was confident that her friend would appear.  There's No Such Place As Far Away  chronicles the exhilarating spiritual journey that delivered Rae's anxiously awaited guest to her side on that special day--and tells of the powerful and enduring gift that would keep him forever close to her heart.

Written with the same elegant simplicity that made  Jonathan Livingston Seagull  a bestselling phenomenon,  There's No Such Place As Far Away  has touched the hearts of thousands of readers since its first publication in 1979. Richard Bach's inspiring, now-classic tale is a profound reminder that miles cannot truly separate us from friends...that those we love are always with us--every moment of the infinite celebration we call life.

Richard David Bach  (born June 23, 1936)  is an American writer. He has written numerous flight-related works of fiction and non-fiction. His works include  Jonathan Livingston Seagull  (1970) and  Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah  (1977), both of which were among the 1970s' biggest sellers. Most of Bach's books have been semi-autobiographical, using actual or  fictionalized  events from his life to illustrate his  philosophy. His books espouse his philosophy that our apparent physical limits and mortality are merely appearance. Bach is noted for his love of aviation and his books related to flying in a  metaphorical  context. He has flown as a hobby since the age of 17. In late August 2012, Bach was severely injured when on approach to landing at  Friday Harbor, Washington, his aircraft clipped some power lines and crashed upside down in a field.
