Customer Reviews

A must read

This is a very emotional book written by a very strong Spiritual Lady.I highly recomend this book.

Not just another book on Sept. 11th

I had seen Deena Burnett on tv during the days after Sept. 11th. She told her story in a very quiet way. When i read her book i saw a strength and depth in her and her husband Tom that was amazing. This book told me their story but also shed more lite on that terrible day. When a tragedy has a voice, it makes it impossible to forget it. It left me feeling that we all have to do our part in paying attention to the world around us. We all have to have a voice and keep moving forward, even when we think we cannot. A Must Read!

Fighting Back

This book should be required reading for all Americans, expecially with the anniversary of 9/11 coming up. We forget too soon not only the life lost in 9/11, but also those left behind whose lives were changed forever. Deena's story tells not only of the courage and determination of the passengers on Flight 93, but also tries to awaken us all to the price of freedom, and our responsibility to do our best to make America a better place. It is a very emotional and inspiring book.

Making the Right Choices

Once I started reading this book, I couldn't put it down. Deena's story inspires me to be a better person, to make right choices not only for myself but for my family and my country. Her determination to make her husband's life count for something by her perseverance to not let America forget what happened on 9/11 is admirable. She struggled to keep her little girls safe and secure, sacrificed her time to get the message "Stand up and Fight" out to the world, and shared her innermost thoughts of losing the love of her life. She is to be admired for her openness in sharing such a difficult time in her life and her boldness in sharing her faith in God.
