Angel in the Rubble: The Miraculous Rescue of 9/11's Last Survivor

by Genelle Guzman-McMillan, William Croyle, Heather Alicia Simms (Narrator)

The riveting story of the last survivor pulled from the 9/11 Ground Zero debris after twenty-seven hours and her journey from desperation to a miraculous salvation.

In this moving true story, Genelle Guzman-McMillan reveals her harrowing experience trapped inside the collapsed Tower One on 9/11. Buried beneath concrete and steel for over a day, Genelle couldn’t help but reflect on her life and her lost faith. Yet, something reminded her of a miracle she witnessed as a child in her native Trinidad. Maybe God had a miracle for her? She had no idea that an angel was on the way to rescue her.

“A riveting, simply-told story of strength, hope, and miracles” (Wendy Fitzwilliam, lawyer and Miss Universe winner), Angel in the Rubble will inspire you to live your life with purpose.

DNF because there was just too much religious stuff in it near the end. I found her telling of the events of 9/11 very interesting though.

[Lorma Doone]

The first half of the book is a first hand account of what it was like to be in one of the towers as it fell. We don’t have many of those, which is why I borrowed the book. Regardless of all the religious proselytizing, that first half is still pretty stunning because her survival really is a miracle. The second half of the book doesn’t focus on her recovery, as I expected, more on her “life lessons” as a person with renewed faith. Not my jam, and I did listen to the last third on 1.5 speed just to finish.

I almost DNF’d this book. Fascinating story. Felt really rushed and I did not expect the second half to become a religious and self-help book. I felt like it could have ended sooner.

And I found out the author found Paul. But she had her doubts and didn’t want to do an update for the book or have an interview with him.

[Lisa Walter]

This was a heartbreaking yet inspiring story. I was brought to tears several times throughout. Since this is essentially Genelle's testimony to being born again and turning back to God while she was buried underneath the rubble, Christianity/faith is a heavy theme in this book.

Excellent read. I saw the movie that just came out on Lifetime, it was good but I enjoyed the book more
