Description- Now......... Sixteen year old Jesse is used to living with the echos of the past. After her older brother died in the September 11 attacks, her dad filled their home with anger and grief. When Jesse gets caught up with the wrong crowd, one thoughtless decision turned her life upside down.The only way to make amends is to face the past, starting with Jesse on a journey that could reveal the truth about her brother's death.
Then.....................
In 2001, sixteen year old Alia is a proud Muslim-it's life as a teenager that she finds challenging. After being grounded for a stupid mistake, Alia decides to confront her father at his office in one of the Twin Towers. But when the planes collide into the building, Alia finds herself in danger she could never imagined. As the flames raged, she has no choice but to trust a boy she just met and hope they have enough to make it out alive.
Interweaving the past and present, this haunting and heart-wrenching story brings one of the most important days in our history to life, showing that hatred and love have the power reverberate far into the future.
My Review- Everyone knows what happened on 9/11 almost 16 years ago. This book has a point of view of a girl that was actually in the towers and a girl who lost her brother in the towers. The point of views change through out the book and you see how Muslims were treated before and after 9/11. You see that one group of a certain religion could change the point of view for all of that religion. It makes you see that not all Muslims are terrorist, yet there are some that are. I recommend this book. 10/10
