Love You, Mean it

Description

A powerful memoir of love, loss and friendship from four widows of the 9/11 terrorist attack What would you do if, one glorious September morning, your husband were to die suddenly, when all he had done was go to work, and you didn't even wake up properly to say goodbye? For Patricia, Julia, Claudia and Ann, four thirty-something women whose husbands worked at the World Trade Center, this became a tragic reality. But in the dark days following September 11th, 2001, the four came together and found comfort in each other. Love You, Mean It is a remarkable shared memoir of four marriages, of how four hope-filled relationships were tragically cut short, of how these four women rebuilt their lives after a deep loss, but, most of all, it is an extraordinary testament to the power of friendship.
