Making Faces

by Amy Harmon

[Sam@WLABB]

So, I survived my first Amy Harmon book, and wow! What an emotional ride it was. I knew this book would hit me in the feels, but I actually sobbed a few times when reading this.

I used to be able to see the tops of the Towers from my Main Street, and after 9/11, I watched the smoke rise. The scene, where they are watching the planes hit the towers really brought it all back to me, and yes, there was sobbing for all the people we knew, who lost their lives that day.

This book was packed with tragedy. There were buckets of tears, but there was also these beautiful stories of survival. Stories of accepting one's "new norm", not forgetting the loved ones we lost, coming to the understanding that having them and losing them was better, than never having them in our lives at all.

It was about friendship, family, and love. A love that allows you to see beyond the surface into the heart of a person. It was about resilience and tapping that inner strength when we need it most.

Yeah, it was a sob-fest for me, but I was rewarded with a very lovely ending, and I smiled, widely, when I read the ESPN interviews with Ambrose.
