New York City. Will Fuller
accompanies his father to work in the World Trade Center, South tower. Within hours his whole world changes when
terrorists crash planes into the buildings where his father and thousands
others work.
This event not only changed the course of American history,
countries world-wide felt the ripple.
Bound together by the horror and violence of this event people of all
ages were glued to their television sets to seek understanding of the what,
how, and most importantly, why of the attacks.
Walters weaves fiction seamlessly into a historical event to shed light
on a survivor’s experience of the day.
This book has been described by others as, “dramatic, gripping, and
moving”, and I couldn’t agree more. This
book has an equally moving sequel, United We Stand.
