BY Hook or BY Crook: It is not what you know but who you know

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

In this heartfelt and humorous memoir, Hilton takes readers on a journey through a life well-traveled—from his early days in South Africa's Highveld, to 35 years spent soaring the skies as a Flight Steward and Flight Director, and finally, to finding love and new beginnings in sunny Southern California.


Raised by his aunt and uncle, Hilton's adventurous spirit was evident from a young age. At just 17, he set out alone to explore the world, eventually trading in his wings for wheels and embracing a new chapter of life on the road. A chance encounter on a cold February night led him to Marianne, the woman who would become his wife and partner in the next great adventure.


This book is more than a memoir—it's a reminder to embrace life, take risks, and find joy in the unexpected. With warmth, humor, and honesty, Hilton invites you to laugh, reflect, and be inspired.
