This is a book about the day that the World Trade Center in New York City was attacked and destroyed. On That Fateful Day, more commonly known as September 11, 2001, or just 9/11, nearly 3000 people were murdered, not just within the World Trade Center complex, but also at the Pentagon in Washington, DC, and in a field in Shanksville, PA. This book will focus upon the drama that took place at the World Trade Center. The story is told without any politics, geopolitical opinion or premeditated rancor.

Within the World Trade Center, the actions and heroes of the first responders are well known. Less is known about the actions and heroics of the ordinary civilian office worker.

In this book, we will follow 24 hours in the fictional lives of three office workers - Roger Phillips, Meena Sukram, and Donna Lee Davis, and their families and co-workers - as they began their day just like any other, making their way to the World Trade Center only to see their lives upended there on That Fateful Day.
