Between Heaven and Ground Zero: One Woman's Struggle for Survival and Faith in the Ashes of 9/11

by Leslie Haskin Narrated by Leslie Haskin

Overview

A Second Chance at Life: On the sunny morning of Tuesday, September 11, 2001, terrorists murdered more than twenty-seven hundred people in an attack on New York City. Thousands died when a hijacked Boeing 767 slammed into Tower One of the World Trade Center. It was first blood. For Leslie Haskin, it was a second chance at life. This is the riveting account of Leslie's harrowing escape - down 36 floors in a doomed and dying building and away from a life focused on perks, prestige, and power. The intervening months brought crippling mental and emotional distress, but from the rubble and ashes, the corporate climber rediscovered the faith of her childhood and now embraces a new life of serving others.

Editorial Reviews

Library Journal - Audio

Haskin recounts in graphic detail her escape from Tower One of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. She attributes her renewed Christian faith to the experience and disjointedly attempts to share memories of her trauma while entreating readers to pursue their own relationships with Christ. The author reads the text in an occasionally choppy and emotional voice. Chapter breaks and quoted scriptural passages are awkwardly read by a computerized voice that yanks the reader out of the rhythm of the text.

Verdict The poor quality of the recording makes this audiobook an optional purchase.—Amy Koester, St. Charles City-Cty. Lib. Dist., Wentzville, MO
