What Amazon Says:
On September 11, 2001, when Molly Fitzgerald was only 2 months old, her mother went to an appointment at the World Trade Center and never came home. Her father and the stepmother who raised her couldn't have loved her more, but she still grew up with a healthy dread of disasters. Now an adult, she runs the Rhode Island Department for Emergency Preparedness, mapping out ways to save lives during storms, epidemics and airplane crashes. She and her husabnd, Jesse - a police polygraph expert with his own history of crisis - have found a love that is a solace in a dangerous world. But then the unexpected upends their new marriage, leading them both to question everything they thought they knew. Moving between past and present, this book is an epic story of the lies we tell ourselves as we write the narratives of our lives, the plans we design to protect outselves at the worst moments, and the ties that bind mothers and daughters.
Started out interesting but quickly became too many things. Very political.
