Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Noonan's timely debut tells the Pat Tillmanesque tale of a football star turned soldier gunned down in Iraq by friendly fire. Abby, John Stanton's widowed wife, wants answers from the tight-lipped military who insist John was killed by an insurgent, and John's parents want him lauded in a hero's burial in Arlington cemetery. Meanwhile, the real killer, a psychopath in John's battalion, comes home and wants to take over John's once-charmed life. Written with great insight into military families and the constant struggle between supporting the troops but not the war, Noonan delivers a fast-paced, character-driven tale with a touch of mystery. Her only misstep is revealing the killer's identity too early—a forgivable sin in this otherwise respectable drama. (Jan.)

From Booklist

Being the wife of a soldier is not how Abby expected her life to turn out. Her husband, John, was a star football player from Rutgers playing with the Seattle Seahawks when he decided to join the army à la Pat Tillman. September 11 deeply impacted John, and now Abby is alone in Fort Lewis, Washington, studying for a master’s degree in psychology. She is stunned when she learns of John’s death. As her mother-in-law plans a lavish hero’s funeral, Abby, haunted by visions of John, struggles to deal with the tragedy only to be stymied by the lack of cooperation from the army. Flint, a college friend who is now a reporter embedded with the troops, tells Abby that John’s demise may have been set up by a member of his platoon who has set his sights on Abby and John’s family. Noonan creates a unique thriller that is anti–Iraq War and pro-soldier, a novel that focuses on the toll war takes on returning soldiers and civilians whose loved ones won’t be coming home. --Patty Engelmann

5.0 out of 5 stars Right vs. Wrong -- Timely Issues..., February 7, 2009
Our story begins in Iraq, where we meet a mysterious, nameless and faceless character, who is gloating - yes, even exhilarating - in the death of someone who is popular, well-loved, and a soldier...

We next zero in on a young woman, Abby Fitzgerald, who is counting down the days until her husband, John Stanton, returns from Iraq.

In a startling tumble of events, the tragedy unfolds. A hero's fall - supposedly gunned down by a sniper - and the pain and loss of family members as they receive the news are the immediate results.

Abby's in-laws, Jim and Sharice Stanton; their daughter Madison, who questions the war in Iraq and even protests occasionally; and then Abby herself...all of them are reeling in the aftermath of this death. And then there is Noah, the younger brother, who is still in Iraq. He had enlisted, along with his brother, and now he is left...questioning everything he thought was right.

When the military establishment provides no answers - indeed, when there seems to be a cover-up - Abby, Madison, eventually even Sharice...each begin to search for their own resolution.

When Noah returns for the funeral, he seems more than a little distressed...so when he leaves afterwards, headed to Canada to join other "deserters" and "protesters", even his father, a member of the military establishment himself - now retired - understands, even though he cannot agree.

But Emjay Brown, the soldier who was with John Stanton when he was shot, has a completely different version of events than the one the military is handing down...he claims that John was killed by "friendly fire" - and not only friendly, but someone in his own platoon.

What will the establishment do to prevent the truth from coming out? And why is someone, also back from Iraq, claiming to be John's best friend, someone who suddenly seems to be moving in on Abby's life and attempting to take it over, turning extremely bizarre as he moves in on John Stanton's territory?

With each page I turned, the suspense intensified, until I could not turn them fast enough...to discover the truth, and to see resolution of the anguish for the survivors.

One September Morning is a poignant and timely tale of the wrongs that can be done in the name of "right."

5.0 out of 5 stars A Real Page Turner (30 Stars), June 3, 2009
I found this book browsing the library. The cover caught my attention and the reference to Jodi Picoult made me get it. I'm so glad I did! I got into it fast. The characters are people you will care about. It's hard to put down and you will re-examine your thoughts on the Iraq war. I liked the ending too. You can't ask for much more than that in a book. Pick it up if you see it, you will be glad you did!

5.0 out of 5 stars Captivating and Suspenseful, May 29, 2009
I really liked this book about an army widow who wasn't satisfied with the army's report on her husband's death in Iraq and uncovered some disturbing facts about how he really died. It also included the effects of his death on his family and how his feelings about the war in Iraq changed during his service there. This book gave some insight into the Iraq war and gave me a new perspective on it. This book is a bit of a mystery because at first you don't know which soldier is the killer and then it turns to suspense as the killer puts his plan into action. I read this in two days because it was captivating and I liked Abby, the main character who was the army widow. I recommend this to anyone who likes mysteries, suspense, PTSD, stories about military families or psychos.
