Summary:
A happy young suburban mother and housewife, Breitweiser saw her world shattered by terrorism--and, with no husband by her side or father for her child, found the courage and strength not only to build a new life, but to become one of the country's most outspoken activists and harshest critics of the current administration. A former Republican, Breitweiser, along with three other 9/11 widows (known to the media as "The Jersey Girls"), fought tirelessly for the creation of the 9/11 Commission, in spite of strong opposition from Bush, Cheney, Rice, and other top government officials. While describing her journey, Breitweiser discloses eye-opening information about mistakes made prior to the 9/11 attacks, cover-ups discovered during her campaign for the 9/11 Commission, surprising encounters with some of the country's most powerful officials, and unsettling facts about present-day national security.--From publisher description.
