The Day the World Came to Town: 9/11 in Gander, Newfoundland by Jim DeFede
Rating: 4 Stars
This book was a fascinating look into how the tragedy of 9/11 effected those people who were in the air that day, and those who took them in. We often forget how that day rippled throughout the world, and how many people stepped up to help.
This was a lovely story about the best of humanity. I enjoyed the narrative and found myself crying more than once at the kindness shown to these people I’ve never met. I liked the writing style, the pieces of each person’s story, although I know some other readers found it hard to follow.
If you’re looking for a story that will make you feel all the emotions, but mostly the good ones, this is the book for you.
