Maybe everybody’s story is important, because 9/11 didn’t just happen to the people who died, it happened to the entire country. People were living their lives, doing everyday things, when suddenly the planes hit, and time ripped into two pages titled “Before 9/11” and “After.” With their clumsy stories, they are saying: “We all felt it. We remember where we were when the world changed.”


— What a beautiful and moving story about 9/11 with voices that feel so authentic. It's a very relevant book with a powerful message that needs to be told: That at the end of it all, all we really have left is a choice: whether to drown in hatred or to spread love. And here's to hoping we'd all just choose the latter eventually...
