Pictures--one or two people page. Their name, their job, a sentence about how they were tied to ground zero, and another sentence or two of a quote. It seems so simple, a nice memory coffee book.

Yet somehow it is so much more. Not a nice memory book---an emotional whallop. Every time I open it my eyes tear up. It's simplicity lays bare so many lives touched in so many ways, so many people who did so much, and so many who aren't pictured because they did all they could.

I remember 9/11. I remember being in shock. It never pictures the towers but the book captures the impact of the even much more directly---the personal is a direct shot to the emotional. A tribute to people and heroes.
