ANN BELIEVES THAT
the stories of September 11, 2001 are like a mosaic. The stories don’t fit together like a puzzle. Instead, they lay next to each other to form the larger narrative of what happened that day and since.
As the author of Pieces Falling: Navigating 9/11 with Faith, Family & the FDNY, Ann believes in the importance of humanizing history.
