What an interesting look at the night before 9/11! This book shows us snippets of everyday life for ten people. It is amazing how ordinary life takes on so much more meaning when you change your perspective. The stories in this book are all different. The people in them are not tied to one another. We don't know how the stories really end. Did the people go to work on 9/11? Were they on board the plane? (We do know that was a yes for a living person though the story was fictional). How the people left behind were affected we do not know. All we have are the snippets of ordinary life made extraordinary by the horrific event known as 9/11. Those these stories are fictional any one of them could be true. So many people were taken from us, each with their own night before. This book drives home the point that we should never take life for granted, not our own nor anyone else's. Say I love you. Forgive when needed. Visit and call when you have the opportunity, make one if you have to. Tomorrow is not promised as is shown in these poignant stories. In my opinion, this book is a beautiful tribute to the ordinary people we lost that day. In someone else's eyes they were extraordinary and loved. They all deserve to be remembered.
