Marian Fontana writes movingly about the death of her husband, firefighter Dave Fontana, in the World Trade Center attacks on 9/11 (their eighth wedding anniversary) and about her life since then. Fontana has become an advocate not only for the relatives of 9/11 victims--whose frustrating struggles with the bureaucracy are vividly detailed here--but for firefighters, whom she considers to be grossly underpaid and unappreciated by the city, and she pleads their case in her compelling and unsentimental memoir. Illustrated with black and white photographs. Description text copyright 2006 BooksForComfort. Item ID 10972.
