"Touching story! A must-read for all! " Artie Van Why provides a very personal and touching perspective on the horror of 9/11 and the impact it had on an otherwise normal life. We often think of those who lost their lives or loved ones on that terrible day; of the victims and the heroes. In this book, however, Van Why shares the shock and angst of a witness so close to the event that he had to run for his life, as well as how these events changed him and his life. It's a touching account that reminds us that the survivors have also struggled to find peace and normalcy in the aftermath of terror. Artie is a hero in his attempt to save an injured victim, but also in speaking to the plight of the many survivors. Great read! Share with your family & friends!
