Product Description

The hope-filled sequel to the bestselling One Tuesday Morning
In this new novel by Karen Kingsbury, three years have passed since the terrorist attacks on New York City. Jamie Bryan, widow of a firefighter who lost his life on that terrible day, has found meaning in her season of loss by volunteering at St. Paul's, the memorial chapel across the street from where the Twin Towers once stood. Here she meets a daily stream of people touched by the tragedy, including two men with whom she feels a connection. One is a firefighter also changed by the attacks, the other a police officer from Los Angeles.
But as Jamie gets to know the police officer, she is stunned to find out that he is the brother of Eric Michaels, the man with the uncanny resemblance to Jamie's husband, the man who lived with her for three months after September 11. Eric is the man she has vowed never to see again. Certain she could not share even a friendship with his brother, Jamie shuts out the police officer and delves deeper into her work at St. Paul's.
Now it will take the persistence of a tenacious man, the questions from her curious young daughter, and the words from her dead husband's journal to move Jamie beyond one Tuesday morning.
"Jamie Bryan took her position at the far end of the Staten Island Ferry, pressed her body against the railing, eyes on the place where the Twin Towers once stood. She could face it now, every day if she had to. The terrorist attacks had happened, the World Trade Center had collapsed, and the only man she'd ever loved had gone down with them.
Late fall was warmer than usual, and the breeze across the water washed over Jamie's face. If she could do this, if she could make this journey three times a week while Sierra was in school, then she could convince herself to get through another long, dark night. She could face the empty place in the bed beside her, face the longing for the man who had been her best friend, the one she'd fallen for when she was only a girl."

5.0 out of 5 stars One of My New Favorite Books, December 31, 2004

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Beyond Tuesday Morning (September 11 Series #2) (Paperback)

I read One Tuesday Morning and loved it. Beyond Tuesday Morning was just as good and I hope for another sequel one day. No reader has ever touched me or brought me close to a book like Karen can. She is my favorite author.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great sequel!, January 21, 2005

This review is from: Beyond Tuesday Morning (September 11 Series #2) (Paperback)

This book is about healing and moving on past what happened on 9-11. This book is about Jamie, struggling with just that, as she gets involved with two men. She is constantly struggling with leaving the memories of Jake behind and moving on.

The research on what happened on 9-11 was excellent. I thought that Kingsbury did a wonderful job, capturing the depth of people's pain after what happened to our Twin Towers. I loved how she had Jamie do volunteer work, helping people who lost loved ones in 9-11.

As usual, Kingsbury's books rock! I look forward to reading more from her.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent sequel, January 14, 2006

By	Katherine (Colorado, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Beyond Tuesday Morning (September 11 Series #2) (Paperback)

After reading ONE TUESDAY MORNING, I was glad to see that Ms. Kingsley had finished the story with a sequel. She did a great job and I would highly recommend both books as Kingsley is one of the better Christian writers out there. I only had one question and it bothers me but not enough to give the book 4 stars. I find it very hard to believe that Clay, during his first tour of St. Paul's, wouldn't have mentioned to Jamie that his brother had been in the World Trade Center at the time of the attacks. It's a small thing but his silence doesn't seem believeable. Still, the story would have come to a grinding halt if he did, so there you go.
