Description

A face of misfortune, recovery, and success from the writer of The Brand New York Times best-seller Statement from Ground-Zero, about the eleventh anniversary of 9/11. This season marks the eleventh anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, an event that's certain to be noticed round the world. But one of the political messages, memorials, and information editorials, the most demanding thought- and usually the most neglected-may be the lives and well-being of the 9/11 first-responders, their families, and the patients' families in the last decade. Dennis Smith, a former firefighter and the writer of the best-selling Statement from Ground-Zero, handles this crucial subject in a number of interviews with all the characters and groups of those most impacted by the catastrophe possibly through feats of valor in the recovery attempts or brave showing up in the facial skin of unimaginable loss.
