On the tenth anniversary of 9/11, a portrait of tragedy,
survival, and healing from the author of The New York
Times bestseller Report from Ground Zero.
This year marks the tenth anniversary of the
attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, an
occasion that is sure to be observed around the world. But
among the memorials, political speeches, and news
editorials, the most pressing consideration- and often the
most overlooked-is the lives and well-being of the 9/11
first responders, their families, and the victims' families
over the past decade. Dennis Smith, a former
firefighter and the author of the bestselling Report from
Ground Zero, addresses this important topic in a series
of interviews with the heroes and families of those most
affected by the tragedy either through feats of bravery in
the rescue efforts or heroic bearing up in the face of
unimaginable loss. Smith provides an intimate look at a
terrible moment in history and its challenging and difficult
aftermath, allowing these survivors to share their stories
of loss, endurance, and resilience in their own words. A
Decade of Hope is an honest and vitally important look
at a decade in the lives of those for whom a national
tragedy was a devastatingly personal ordeal.

Re: A Decade Of Hope
Wow, this sounds like a fantastic book! Will have to check it out. Hard to believe it's been 10 yrs but in some ways it seems like a whole different lifetime.
