About this audiobook
September 11, a sunny morning, the air is crisp, the temperature a near perfect 72° Fahrenheit. Just about everything is perfect. Within hours, the Twin Towers are transformed to Ground Zero, where the author spends six months, looking for survivors and the dead. A true story of atonement, purification, and new hope. It is a love letter to the greatest city on Earth – New York, to its people and its tall buildings.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5The story was choppy, jumping around in time. The voice of the reader, unfortunately, was annoying to me. And the music between chapters was unnecessary & didn't fit with subject. Only listened to 5 chapters, couldn't continue.
