As a wife and mom, church volunteer, and small business owner, Ann Van Hine prided herself on being in control of her life.Until 9/11.Pieces Falling is Ann's story of navigating the very personal loss of her husband, Bruce-a New York City firefighter who died on 9/11- amid the very public tragedy that shocked the world.Her poignant reflections help answer the questions: - How do you cope when life lies in pieces around you?- How do you begin to rebuild in the face of all that has been lost?- How do you commemorate the past while creating space for your future?Ann's journey parallels the evolution of Ground Zero from a place of death and destruction to the moving Memorial Plaza today-and is a beautiful testament to the resilience of a woman, a family, and a nation.
