Moving read as we head to the 25th anniversary of 9/11.
Debbie has shown us the depths of pain and then recovery from different types of trauma. There are a few secrets uncovered as the book moves along and as we follow the narrator’s journey. Not a long book but you still get to know the characters well. A Good Man and a good read.

Lots of surprises. The story is both heart wrenching and heartwarming. I couldn’t put it down.
