Finished the first and currently reading the second..
Women At Ground Zero : Stories of Courage and Compassion
Susan Hagen and Mary Carouba
A unique perspective on the events of that terrible day as viewed by the women heroes - firefighters, police officers, paramedics, and emergency medical technicians - who stood shoulder to shoulder with their male counterparts and gave their all. It speaks with the voices of mothers, wives, sisters, daughters, partners, and friends whose lives were forever changed in the crucible we now know as Ground Zero.
**Amazing information provided by these often overlooked and rarely recognized heroes...

Middletown, America : One Town's Passage from Trauma to Hope
Gail Sheehy
All Americans were hit with some degree of trauma on September 11, 2001, but no place was hit harder than Middletown, New Jersey. Gail Sheehy spent the better part of two years walking the journey from grief toward renewal with fifty members of the community that lost more people in the World Trade Center than any other outside New York City. Her subjects are the women, men, and children who remained after the devastation and who are putting their lives back together.
**I am still reading this book and it is absolutely fascinating! Until I picked up this book I had no idea that one third of all of the victims of the World Trade Center tragedy were from New Jersey - and close to 50 just from Middletown alone!!

If you are at all interested in this subject, I highly reccomend these books..
