Being very interested in what occurred at the twin towers on September 11, 2001, I have read many books from various people that were close and survived this attack and tragedy. This account follows a successful executive from the 36th floor of tower number one from the crash through her healing process after her survival. This book brought tears to my eyes, especially from a Christian aspect and helped me to rethink some of my hatred towards the people that committed these atrocities. Maybe I will eventually be able to forgive these people even if I could never say I can love them. It is interesting to understand the road that needed to be traveled by someone that experienced the atrocious events that occurred that day. Mental healing was a hard road to travel even though she physically made it through the trauma. The lower rating of this book is probably because of the Christian text, but this made it better for me. I pray that the author has experienced compete healing, and I know from the text tat she is moving on very nicely with her life. I would definitely recommend this book.
