Michael Brandt has an early morning appointment in the north tower of the NATO buildings on September 11, 2001. Arriving in the city with time to spare, he stops in a coffee shop a short way from the tower to have a cup of coffee and read the morning newspaper. Time gets away from him. He hears a woman cry out and watches with the rest of the customers as the first airplane flies into the north tower. Horrified, they see the second airplane appear, repeating the path of the first, this time into the other tower. A man in a hard hat shouts, "We've got to get out of here! Those buildings are going to come down!" Panic takes over the group, and they join others in the street, running for shelter against the falling buildings. Michael joins them, but he walks carefully to avoid stumbling or hurting someone else. The others walk to safety, to their homes, to the subway trains leaving the area. Michael keeps on walking. Walking away, until...he disappears. Elevendy is a love story. A love story the likes of which you have never read before. But after you have read it, you will never forget it!
Ah, the golden years. Retirement--no longer chained to an alarm clock, free to travel, enjoy life at a leisurely pace. Minerva Gardiner, a socialite, suddenly finds herself a widow when her investment broker husband falls over and dies on the golf course. Minnie has never managed money or a budget, or held a job; and now she must navigate through insurance agents, mortgage bankers, and lawyers. All to no avail, for her husband of forty years has spent every nickel they had on his "sweet little thing" administrative assistant.Minnie's only ally is her best friend and sister-in-law, Virginia Gardiner. Along the way, they encounter several other senior citizens who need help as well. Everyday occurrences such as lust, bankruptcy, homelessness, alcoholism, Alzheimer's, and even revenge make their way into the lives of Minnie and Ginnie and their friends and housemates. Minnie falls in love with a most unlikely hero, who, while fighting to keep his centuries-old log cabin home and ranch from being burned to the ground by an intruder, must also fight for his life.There's no such thing as dull dreary days for these oldsters. Meanwhile, with two or three exceptions, the writer has not defined the characters by race, religious, or sexual backgrounds. This is left to the reader. More important is the message of learning to live together, to allow each person to live as they choose, to become a "kinder" person.
