Early on the morning of Sept.11, 2001, Lauren Manning-a wife, mother of a ten-month old son, and a senior vice president and partner at Cantor Fitzgerald-came to work at One World Trade Center. As she stepped into the lobby, a fireball exploded from the elevator shaft, and in that split second her life was changed forever.
Lauren was burned over 82.5 percent of her body. As he watched his wife like in a drug-induced coma in the ICU of the Burn Center at New York Presbytarian Hospital, Greg Manning began writing a daily journal. In the form of emails to family, friends, and colleagues, he recorded Lauren's harrowing struggle-and his own tormented efforts to make sense of an act that defies all understanding. This book is that email diary: detailed, intimate, inspiring messages that end, always, as if a prayer for a happy outcome: Love, Greg & Lauren.
