Another author, Homer Hickham, gave a quote that fills the top of the cover - "... there will be tears ..." yep, yes, there were tears. Joy, pride, fear, sadness, all the things. This is a curated snapshot of stories that occurred when the events of 9/11/2001 caused the airspace over the United States to be closed, the planes headed across the Atlantic had to land as quickly and safely as possible. A whole lot of them ended up in Gander, Newfoundland, a whole lot of life happened in a week for those passengers, crew and Newfies. Seeing 9/11 from this perspective reminds & heals.

I grew up listening to Paul Harvey on the radio my parents always had on (in the kitchen, the car, the barn), when in the 1st chapter I read Mike's book would have that 'rest of the story' vibe, I was excited to dive in. While there were moments in the book that fell flat for me, overall I heard Mike's voice in all of it. I learned a few things I did not know and also this reading has nudged me in the direction of listening to his podcast.
