We all divide our history by personal, historical or national landmark events such as the beginning or ending of wars, Kennedy’s assassination, marriages, deaths and September 11, 2001. This autobiography begins with 9/11 when Lauren is heading to the elevator in the World Trade Center as the plane hits. The dragonian flames roar down the elevator shaft and wrap around her, burning her, cooking her, throwing her down, and then, the story starts. A great novel, of enduring through the worst life can demand of a person. She had a high-powered job with Cantor Fitzgerald, a husband and toddler. She was climbing to the top of her game, a high achiever, competent, self-driven and then she is in an unescapable hell from the fire that burned over 80% of her body. This is a great book of survival through unbeatable odds, and years and years of struggle and step by tiny step of success and more success. Recommended. 8 out of 10. Read it.
