I have never read a Karen Kingsbury book before so I thought I’d try one and see if I would be interested in them. I have heard so many good things about her books so I was pretty excited to see what they were like.

Well today is September 11th and “One Tuesday Morning” is a story about what happened on September 11th, 2001. This is not a true story but a story about what could have happened. Karen interviewed a lot of people before writing this book and I felt like it was a true story as I was reading it.

It was an outstanding book but also a very hard book to read. It brought back memories of that horrible day. I think it would be a tough book to read for someone who lost a loved one in the tragedy.

This is a story of a NYC firefighter and a businessman that was on the 64th floor of the south tower. You will be led inside each of these men’s lives and get to know them very well. Then you will see how their paths cross and how one of them survives and his life is totally changed by the other man. It is a great book. It was one I couldn’t put down.

If you read this book make sure you read every morsel. There is a lot to be gained by doing so. Make sure you read the Dedication, Note To The Reader, and the Author’s Notes at the end.

I read a story about Karen Kingsbury awhile back. I believe it was in Guideposts magazine a couple of months ago. She and her husband have 3 children of their own . Karen went to Haiti by herself to adopt a boy there and ended up bringing home 3 boys because they were so close to each other and she didn’t feel right splitting them up. She seems like a pretty special person and is a great writer. This book is part of a two book series. The next and final book is “Beyond Tuesday Morning”. I’ll be reading this next.
