Book Opinion - The Day the World Came to Town
I will finish this book today, The Day the World Came to Town: 9/11 in Gander, Newfoundland by Jim DeFede. I was inspired to read this after seeing the musical, Come From Away. I knew the story from researching the play after the Tony Awards, but the details and stories are so amazing. It's so hard to imagine a community just dropping everything to help. I know that there are incredible individual stories centered around 9/11, of people helping strangers, but the thoughtfulness of the extras provided and the relationships formed are inspiring. The book is currently free with Kindle Unlimited or you can purchase the paperback so your mother can read it like I did. As much as I gained by reading this book, I think I will welcome a return to reading romance next.
