The lives of three teens—Claire, Jasper, and Peter—are altered forever on September 11, 2001. Claire, a high school junior, has to get to her younger brother in his classroom. Jasper, a college sophomore from Brooklyn, wakes to his parents’ frantic calls from Korea, wondering if he’s okay. Peter, a classmate of Claire’s, has to make his way back to school as everything happens around him.
Here are three teens whose intertwining lives are reshaped by this catastrophic event. As each gets to know the other, their moments become wound around each other’s in a way that leads to new understandings, new friendships, and new levels of awareness for the world around them and the people close by.

Cheyenne's Opinion:
This is a great book that really helps you see through the eyes of people who were actually there, people who were effected by this more than anyone. This book also made me cry. (Writing these reviews make me feel like a big cry baby.) It was a quick read and I think everybody should read this just to get closer to what really happened on 9/11.
I was only 5 or so when the twin towers were attacked. I don't remember where I was, I don't remember how I felt, I just don't remember. This story makes me feel like I was there though. It makes me remember when there's not even a memory there to remember. Great book. Great writing.
