From the book jacket: Karen Kingsbury wrote this novel as a way of grieving the events of September 11, 2001. One Tuesday Morning is the emotionally-gripping story of a devoted firefighter, and a driven businessman, strangers from opposite sides of the country with the same face. They meet in the stairwell of the South Tower that fateful Tuesday morning, but only one of them will leave the building alive. Battling amnesia, the survivor must learn how to be the husband and father he never was, by living in the shoes of a man who no longer is. Ultimately he will only find his way home because of the love and faith of one very special woman. Winner of the Silver Medallion Book Award.

I completely forgot to write a review of this book way back last winter when I read it while on vacation. Bummer because now I can’t remember many of the things I might have written about had I journaled about it back then. I do remember it being a very moving book. I’ve read online reviews of this book and the next in the series some of which are quite critical of this series because of the 9-11 factor. I included the info above from the book jacket here because the author states right from the beginning of the book that this is her contribution to the arts helping people grieve and process 9-11.

I enjoyed the book. Her writing definitely has a way of drawing you in right from the start! I was confused at the beginning, but then the fireman’s hat, the child’s picture, etc., all come together and I finally got what happened between the fireman and the businessman in the stairwell of one of the Twin Towers. Now you’ll have to read the book to see what happened!
