    About this audiobook

    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.

      In 2016 my partner and I bought a wooden cottage on 10 acres of land, on an ecotone where the woodlands meet the foothills of the mountains. The area had been logged relentlessly in the 1950s. One by one, the tall trees of the old growth cedar forest

      I cannot even begin to say how haunting this book is. Haskin survived something most of us would crumble under, myself included. I finished this book in one evening as it was a short book, but the book continued to haunt my dreams for the next few nights. Simply the best, most graphic book about the tragedy at the World Trade Center I have ever read! If you weren't there, and you are curious as to what it was like to be right there in the center of it all, read this book. Ms. Haskin will be glad to take you there!!!

      The author was one of the people who worked in Tower 1 and had to escape after it was struck by the plane on September 11th. Since then she has suffered from Post Traumatica Stress disorder, and this book is partly a result of her journaling to work through the trauma of her ordeal. She honestly relates the horror of her experience--I didn't realize how gruesome it was for people to have body parts rainng down on them and scattered about on the ground. I had a hard time tracking with her style at first, she seems to communicate on a slightly different wavelength than I do. But I did appreciate learning more about what it was like for the people involved in the Sept. 11th attacks and it was meaningful to read this as we were remembering the 6th anniversary. Never Forget!
