5.0 out of 5 stars Love and Grief, Intertwined, 19 Aug 2008
By Graceann Macleod "Books Fuel My Life" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Marian Fontana lost her husband, Dave, on what should have been their eighth wedding anniversary. Instead of spending the day with her husband, laughing and celebrating, she watched in disbelief and horror as the World Trade Center came down - she knew in that instant that the love of her life and the father of her child was dead.

What follows is a year in which she struggles through every emotion imaginable. She is hollowed out with grief, and at times, wants to join Dave and leave all her troubles behind. She is expected to be a loving and patient mom to a little boy who has lost his Daddy and who is too young to understand, and she is angry. Angry at the monsters who slammed into the buildings, angry at the endless red tape and bureaucracy that tangles her days and fills her inbox and, occasionally, furious with Dave for leaving her behind in order to run into the Towers. He and the other 342 firefighters who ran in saved more than 25,000 people that morning, but he left Marian and Aidan alone to do so. The most painful, and truthful, section for me to read was the one when she cursing Dave for leaving her alone when he promised that they would grow old together. I was grateful for her honesty in sharing her anger with the rest of us.

Marian channeled her grief into an organization for the widows and family members of those lost on that murderous day, and her life has taken a turn that she couldn't have imagined, and didn't want. She is a gifted writer, and one who is brutally honest about the stupidity she is facing and the pain she cannot escape.

This is what truly matters about 9-11. The politics and the "who knew what when" are important, sure. But what it boils down to, and what matters deep in one's soul, are the thousands of love stories that were interrupted. Love stories just like this one. It is our blessing that Marian Fontana is gifted enough to put it on the page. Thanks to her, her son Aidan will never forget who his father was, and now, none who read this book will, either.
