I cannot tell you how much I love this book! It is on the keeper shelf forever. It moves me and makes me cry. An incredibly beautiful story of how the town of Gander, Newfoundland took in literally thousands of people on hundreds of planes diverted from the U.S. on 9/11 -- not just took them and housed them and fed them, but welcomed them with open arms and open hearts and wanted NOTHING in return.
