I have always been interested in stories about 9/11.
But when I read this one, I cried for hours!
I loved this book with all my heart, it really shows how sad that day was.
One of the best stories ever written.
This is a story based on 9/11/2001. The second airplane has just crashed into the second Twin Tower. People are rushing to get down the stairs since the elevators are broken. During one point in time, while on firefighter was going up,
His wife is called and she comes within hours. She is so relieved that her husband has been found and is alive even though it is going to be months for him to recover. She is told of his amnesia and is rather concerned that he remembers his daughter but not her.
Finally, the day has come when he is able to come home. His wife happens to glance at his medical chart at the end of his bed. His blood type entry is different than in the years past. She discusses this issue with the floor
nurse and is assured that if his was any different, he wouldn't have been able to have the blood transfusions needed to save his life.
Their pre-school daughter is overjoyed to see her daddy come him and they can be a family again. Her mother tells her that her daddy is tired from being in the hospital so she might need to remind daddy of their activities. She is glad to do this and they make sure that she knows nothing of his amnesia.
Their family life has been made whole once again until the day starts when the man starts to have flashbacks. Over time, the firefighter's wife and the man, that she thinks is her husband, explore who he really is. He remembers that he has a wife and a son who are waiting at home for him
Kingsbury writing makes you feel as if you know her characters. I really felt for the wife since she thinks that her husband did not die in the blazing fires only to find out that he had died heroically.
