9/11 will always be remembered as the tragedy that delivered the deepest impact on the economy, society, culture, government, and lives of the people of the United States as well as the entire world. Thousands of people died instantly and their friends, relatives, and family were forever scarred and affected in various manners. Some of them are deeply saddened, some were reformed, while some decided to move on. If these people had a chance to know what their departed ones wanted to tell them, what messages could they expect? Readers can find out by joining author Greg Bass as he leads a journey into a world of emotion and spirituality in his new book Letters Home.
Thought provoking and emotional, Letters Home is actually a fictional account of September 11, 2001, presenting a collection of messages from beyond -- specifically, letters written by a series of fictional victims. Readers will be amazed with the wide range of topics, emotions, and personalities found in the letters, each of them written very uniquely. Aside from that, the letters also tell in great detail the events and situations that happened before, during, and after the attacks, giving readers a new dimension of 9/11. Altogether, the letters provide newfound meaning and depth behind the tragedies; the messages of each letter can relate to any person's life or personal situations.
With a very wide variety of personalities and emotions, Letters Home is bound to attract a huge variety of readers, especially 9/11 witnesses and the people who personally knew the victims. The book's fictional and unique content makes it an irresistible page-turner and, in the end, readers will immerse themselves in its essence and even be inspired by it. Letters Home is a fictional yet respectful look at the 9/11; a fresh compendium of disclosure and connection.
About the Author
Greg Bass did not go looking for these stories. They literally woke him up like a flash of light in the middle of the night. He says: "I'm really one of the last people you'd expect to be picked for this job. But these stories were there waiting for me, fully formed, almost like I was taking dictation. You'd have to be crazy to claim God as your writing partner, so I'll say this instead: this may be a work of fiction, but the people in these stories are very real, and they have a message for all of us."
