The moment Abby Fitzgerald sees two soldiers approach her
front door, she knows her husband is dead. John Stanton, who
gave up his career as a star NFL running back to serve after
9/11, has been killed in Iraq. Suddenly Abby’s kitchen is
overflowing with casseroles brought by the army wives’ club
to which she has never really belonged. And her in-laws
arrange a lavish funeral at Arlington National Cemetery in
spite of Abby’s misgivings. John had grown to hate the war
even though he loved his country, and Abby can’t reconcile
the complex man she knew with the version being portrayed by
self-serving politicians, military, and the media.
Shell-shocked, Abby strives to cope with her own heartache
while comforting John’s loved ones, including his mother
Sharice, his staunchly anti-war sister Madison, and his
bitter younger brother Noah. But amidst her loss is a
growing conviction that the truth about John’s death is far
from over.
Gripping, thoughtful, and emotionally powerful, One
September Morning is a story of loyalty and betrayal, of
a shattered family’s journey toward healing, and of the
courage it takes to confront the truth not just about our
enemies, but about those we love best.
