Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

This unflinching and emotionally powerful portrayal of Jeremy Glick's life and role as one of the passengers on United's flight 93, which crashed in Shanksville, Pa., on 9/11, takes the form of a series of letters to the Glicks' daughter, who was three months old when Jeremy died. Out of her grief, Lyz has produced this beautiful book memorializing her husband, who became a media hero for his role in the probable attack on the hijackers. She relates their precious last words when he called from the plane and describes the ways Jeremy's unique background prepared him well for that day's terrible challenges. Jeremy was a huge and powerful man (a judo champion, too), and a tender, caring father who deeply loved his high school sweetheart and their tiny daughter. With this book, Lyz Glick gives their daughter (and readers) an honest look at the daily trials she continues to face: unwelcome media attention, repeated political tributes and group meetings with the coroner. Lyz's epistolary account will comfort others dealing with loss; by book's end, it's clear she's begun the daunting task of moving on, but never forgetting. Photos.

5.0 out of 5 stars Moving and unshakeably candid, September 4, 2004

By	Emil Reveille (New Jersey) - See all my reviews

This book really surprised me. I was prepared for a lot of cliches about healing and 9/11, but Lyz Glick has a very different take on her experience after losing her husband Jeremy, one of the heroes of Flight 93. Books like this almost always airbrush the wrinkles out of their characters - not Glick's. She let's us see Jeremy's faults, Lyz and Jeremy's stormy relationship before they got married, and the trouble she has with some of the hero worship that came with 9/11. Her book reads very quickly, and builds suspense by telling you a little of what happened after the tragedy alternating with Jeremy and Lyz's background, so she's telling two stories at once, which come together on 9/11. (And even though you know what's coming, it's still riveting.) Some of the most effective material concerns how her daughter, Emmy, has reacted to Jeremy's death (she was only 3 months old on 9/11). I dare you to read those sections without crying! All this, and Lyz has a great sense of humor. This is a very exciting and unusual memoir, and it will stay with you long after you finish it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Remembering 9/11 Today and Always, September 11, 2004

By	Singer (PA) - See all my reviews

Through the horror and devastation of 9/11, comes this profound and well written book, a book of letter's from a wonderful widow of a hero to that of her young child. The book that not only tells the happenings of 9/11, but lets us see in to the world that this particular man lived, and loved, prior to him becoming a household name.
With love and dignity, this wonderful woman (Lyz Glick)shares her story with us as well as that of her child.
It is heartwarming and for lack of better words to describe-emotionally beautiful.

I recommend: Skywriting by Jane Pauley and Nightmares Echo by Katlyn Stewart

5.0 out of 5 stars A Powerful and Poignant Book!!, September 11, 2004

By	Jen Mac "jenmac38" (Fairifeld County, CT) - See all my reviews

A powerfull and poignant book written by Jeremy Glick's widow, Lyz Glick and author Dan Zegart. The book is in the form of letters written to their daughter Emmy, who was three months old at the time of Jeremy's tragic death. One of the most interesting aspects, in my opinion, is the way the book is written in two narratives: 1) life with jeremy; and 2) life without him. Additionaly & equally as compelling is the way Jeremy is portrayed as a normal human being - faults and all. Maybe to tell us that we all can be heros! I highly reccomend this book!
