One Tuesday Morning / Beyond Tuesday Morning - 9/11, Bks 1-2
Author: Karen Kingsbury
On the morning of September 11, 2001, two men meet in a smoky stairwell of the World Trade Center. A devoted fireman and a driven businessman, strangers with the same face. On that fateful Tuesday, only one will leave the building alive -- and will unknowingly assume the other man's life -- will he ever find his way home? — ONE TUESDA...  more »

I'm a firefighter, God, so I know I've been in some tough places before. But this . . . this not knowing the people I love . . . this is the hardest thing I can imagine.

The last thing Jake Bryan knew was the sound of the World Trade Center collapsing on top of him and his fellow firefighters. The man in the hospital bed remembers nothing. Not rushing with his teammates up the stairway of the south tower to help trapped victims. Not being blasted from the building. And not the woman sitting by his bedside who says she is his wife.

Jamie Bryan will do anything to help her beloved husband regain his memory, and with it their storybook family life with their small daughter, Sierra. But that means helping Jake rediscover the one thing Jamie has never shared with him: his deep faith in God.

Jake's fondest prayer for his wife is about to have an impact beyond anything he could possibly have conceived. One Tuesday Morning is a love story like none you have ever read: tender, poignant, commemorating the tragedy and heroism of September 11 and portraying the far-reaching power of God's faithfulness and a good man's love.

BEYOND TUESDAY MORNING (9/11, Bk 2)

For widow Jamie Bryan it is still September 12, 2001. Everything changed on 9/11... and now Jamie Bryan must pick up the pieces.... What will move her from living in the past to living the life God has given her today?

In this new novel by Karen Kingsbury, three years have passed since the terrorist attacks on New York City. Jamie Bryan, widow of a firefighter who lost his life on that terrible day, has found meaning in her season of loss by volunteering at St. Paul's, the memorial chapel across the street from where the Twin Towers once stood. Here she meets a daily stream of people touched by the tragedy, including two men with whom she feels a connection. One is a firefighter also changed by the attacks, the other a police officer from Los Angeles.

But as Jamie gets to know the police officer, she is stunned to find out that he is the brother of Eric Michaels, the man with the uncanny resemblance to Jamie's husband, the man who lived with her for three months after September 11. Eric is the man she has vowed never to see again. Certain she could not share even a friendship with his brother, Jamie shuts out the police officer and delves deeper into her work at St. Paul's.

Now it will take the persistence of a tenacious man, the questions from her curious young daughter, and the words from her dead husband's journal to move Jamie beyond one Tuesday morning.

Jamie Bryan took her position at the far end of the Staten Island Ferry, pressed her body against the railing, eyes on the place where the Twin Towers once stood. She could face it now, every day if she had to. The terrorist attacks had happened, the World Trade Center had collapsed, and the only man she'd ever loved had gone down with them.

Late fall was warmer than usual, and the breeze across the water washed over Jamie's face. If she could do this, if she could make this journey three times a week while Sierra was in school, then she could convince herself to get through another long, dark night. She could face the empty place in the bed beside her, face the longing for the man who had been her best friend, the one she'd fallen for when she was only a girl.

I loved this book. It was an easy read even though the subject matter was serious and somber. The story Karen weaves while also sharing what faith in God and His divine ways can do to change lives is amazing. One Tuesday Morning was the book club pick this month. I'm so glad I ordered the one that also had Beyond Tuesday Morning. When you see the whole story come full circle, your faith will be bolstered and you will be reminded of just how much God works in our lives for our good.

In the process of reading One Tuesday Morning at present. I find it informative and the author takes you to the days preceeding 09/11 up to the very day. One feels as though they are there. This is a well written, informative, sensitive, compelling read. I highly recommend it.
