Narrative Concering Books One Tuesday Morning (9/11 #1)
I’m a firefighter, God, so I know I’ve been in some tough places before. But this . . . this not knowing the people I love . . . this is the hardest thing I can imagine. The last thing Jake Bryan knew was the roar of the World Trade Center collapsing on top of him and his fellow firefighters. The man in the hospital bed remembers nothing. Not rushing with his teammates up the stairway of the south tower to help trapped victims. Not being blasted from the building. And not the woman sitting by his bedside who says she is his wife. Jamie Bryan will do anything to help her beloved husband regain his memory, and with it their storybook family life with their small daughter, Sierra. But that means helping Jake rediscover the one thing Jamie has never shared with him: his deep faith in God. Jake’s fondest prayer for his wife is about to have an impact beyond anything he could possibly have conceived. One Tuesday Morning is a love story like none you have ever read: tender, poignant, commemorating the tragedy and heroism of September 11 and portraying the far-reaching power of God’s faithfulness and a good man’s love.Rating Regarding Books One Tuesday Morning (9/11 #1)

I've known about this series for some time but chose not to read it. Nine Eleven affected every American. I wasn't ready to revisit it until now.As a reader, I knew it was coming. With each page turned I wondered if the next page would be painful. When the planes hit and the buildings collapsed, it felt like I was taking my daughter to school. We had just past the swimming pool when the radio announcer broke into the music I was listening to. The terror of that day came roaring back.What aKaren Kingsbury is one of my favorite authors, having said that I must also say that I think One Tuesday Morning is one of the most heart breaking novels I have ever read. The book is set around 911 and is about two entirely different families who have to learn to cope with the loss of the men they loved. They learn to deal with this by leaning on the family and friends that surround them. I believe that God has a plan for all of us and in this novel you begin to understand what his plan is for
I really struggled with writing this review because I have mixed feelings about the book. Karen Kingsbury accomplished her emotional and spiritual goals in this book. I was in tears, and I learned about myself in the process. For that reason ALONE it would be a 5/5. However, in terms of literary elements, the second half of the book just lost me. The part where he's about to leave the hospital and Jamie sees his chart...after that I knew the whole ending and I was honestly hoping it would be

Wow! This was a wonderful story. I definitely cried several times, but that was to be expected from a story about 9/11. This book really touched on how people can semi-understand tragedies and not blame God for them. And, how God can use these tragedies to bring people to Him. I highly recommend this book to both believers and non-believers. It does not preach to the reader, but God, and belief in Him plays an important part in the story.
A man with amnesia finds his way to right relationship with God and family through the death of a strong Christian firefighter. The story was useful in helping me to identify with the suffering of losses occurring at the collapse of the Twin Towers, but the final chapters were not well written. In my opinion, the decisions made by key characters, especially in the final chapters, were not reasonable ones.
I've never read a romance novel before that left me bawling like a kid, but here it is. This book is raw, emotional and beautiful.
This was a little slow going, but picked up and then never stopped. I loved all the character involvement and the idea for the story line, while a stretch, really fascinating and sad and scary. The Christian undertones are tasteful and not over done which is exactly what I was looking for. They fit so well with the story line and the personalities of the characters. I also enjoyed not every character had the same level of faith. Definitely looking forward to the next in the series!
