One Tuesday Morning

One Tuesday Morning
Karen Kingsbury wrote this novel as a way of grieving the events of September 11, 2001. One Tuesday Morning is the emotionally-gripping story of a devoted firefighter, and a driven businessman, strangers from opposite sides of the country with the same face. They meet in the stairwell of the South Tower that fateful Tuesday morning, but only one of them will leave the building alive. Battling amnesia, the survivor must learn how to be the husband and father he never was, by living in the shoes of a man who no longer is. Ultimately he will only find his way home because of the love and faith of one very special woman.

If you haven't read this book you have to go get it and read it!....NOW! It is soo good! I started reading it the week before 9/11 not realizing that it was actually almost 7 years since it had happened(perfect timing right). I was only 11 when 9/11 happened and I was too young to really realize how awful of a tragedy that it was, but reading this book really opened my eyes. It made me feel like I was there and that I was one of the people in the tower or one of the thousands of people who lost someone special to them. I felt so sad the whole time I was reading it and I cried so much....:( Last Thursday we watched the CNN America Remembers 9/11 and it was all I could do not to cry my eyes out. The whole time I was watching it I was thinking about the people in this book. lol Now, every time someone mentions 9/11 I get all sad and teary eyed. I have told countless people the story in this book. I loved it and I want to buy it so I can read it over and over again.

Oh yeah, the sequel to this book is Beyond Tuesday Morning. I can't wait to read it!
