"Grace is an apt word for the solace and healing found in these
sublimely crafted pages. Andrea Raynor is herself a reflection of
grace who continues to mirror for us hope in the midst of despair
and beauty in the face of destruction." --Father Edward L. Beck,
C.P., CNN Religion Commentator
"In this moving collection, Chaplain Andrea Raynor offers a candid
and unblinking glimpse into life at Ground Zero in the aftermath of
the September 11thattacks. As we walk with her around the site and
into the temporary morgue, we encounter everyday people called to
perform extraordinary and sacred tasks. She captures quiet moments
that pass between strangers and the fierce determination of a city
to reclaim its dead and to rise again. A testimony to the enduring
power of the human spirit, Raynor's reflections offer us hope."
