1.0 out of 5 stars Perhaps a bit misleading, August 30, 2006

By	Marcus "MMXDrummer" (Scottsdale, Az.) - See all my reviews

I recently purchased the book "As one door closes" since I had lost two people on flight #255. I expected to hear a lot of details about the event itself, but was suprised to discover that it was about the authors life up to and after the event. Again, my interest was in the events surrounding the accident, etc. Also since one four year old survived, I thoufght it might be her story. I essence I felt I was misled by the title.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Inspirational Story of Love, March 4, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: As One Door Closes (Hardcover)

Talk about a book that you will not be able to put down. You will laugh, you will cry, and you will wonder at the strength and dignity of Annie Weissman. Weissman lost both her daughters in the crash of Northwest Flight #255. Her memoir details the before, during, and aftermath of the crash and how she dealt with this unimaginable loss. What struck me was the feeling of transformation: how Weissman learned to deal with this tragedy and how uplifting the ending is to the reader. I sent this to my sister as a gift and she read it in one sitting. She called and told me that through the memoir she had a new and more appreciative understanding of parenthood, love, and friendship. It is a must read for anyone who has lost a loved one, anyone who needs a reminder of the importance of love, or anyone who has loved ones in their lives.

5.0 out of 5 stars a book that touches the heart, December 26, 2002

By	"susan-the-artist" (Santa Rosa, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This book, by Annie Weissman, is a MUST READ. It is the author's personal story of loss and gain written in a gripping style. Once you pick it up you will not want to put it down until you have finished.

The book evokes tears and laughter. You will love reading "As One Door Closes..." if you have children in your life, if you have close friends, if you have ever had to endure the death of a loved one, if you need inspiration to get to the other side of pain.

Annie Weissman, an accomplished author of non-fiction books, writes in a style that reaches into your heart and soul. Her details of family moments and personal struggles make her story relevant to all readers.

This is a superb book for yourself and as a gift to friends.
