The remarkable and awe-inspiring and very human story of what happened when 38 trans-Atlantic planes were force-landed at Gander on 9/11, and how the locals cared for thousands upon thousands of stranded internationals. It leaves the reader with a true appreciation of community. And kindness.<BR/><BR/>This is the one and only 9/11 book I've been able to read. And surely the most positive and moving. It's an enormous achievement on the part of the author, too--all those interviews! A very complex story to trace and to recound.<BR/><BR/>Everyone I've recommended this to has thanked me.
