This book offers 1 essay from each of the Miss America 2001 Contestants, including Miss America 2002, Katie Harman (who also contributes a Foreward). Each story gives insight into that woman's individual story of her year of service to her state, as well as her thoughts and feelings on being in Atlantic City during the tragedies of September 11, 2001.

It would be a great book for Miss America or 9/11 collectors. It humanizes the Miss America contestants and gives an insight into their true individual personalities. It is also a very nice collection of the thoughts and feelings of women from around our country as well.

Under the Crown: 51 Stories Of Courage, Determination And The American Spirit is a informative and inspiring collection of fifty-one essays written by Katie Harman (Miss America 2002) and the 2002 Miss America Pageant contestants. A very inspirational collection to page through, Under The Crown is highly recommended as a unique, heartwarming, moving and evocative collection, with a heavy theme of mourning with regard to the September 11 attacks on America and hope for a brighter future.
