Poignant and touching, this novel is more than fiction; it's therapeutic. Mary Ellen's life was turned upside down on September 11, 2001, when she personally witnessed and experienced the horror of the terror attacks on the Twin Towers.

Enlisting the aid of her trusted friend and fellow counselor, Marjorie, Mary Ellen begins to unpack the trauma of that fateful day while simultaneously unraveling the details of her own life experiences.
