"Where were you on 9/11?" was the
first thing that crossed my mind hearing about this amazing book. I remember every single moment of that
horrible day and even though I'm not an American, I felt the pain and loss of
all those good people who lost their lives on that day.
As an Israeli who lives
in fear every single day because of terror, I couldn't ignore the special
dedication of this story and sighed up almost immediately for receiving an ARC.
From
the Wreckage - is a story about love, strength, destiny and saving each other from the wreckage of
life.
Grace
and David knew each other when they were children. Good friend and neighbors at
the age of 6 and 10, they already knew the meaning of saving lives.
On one horrible night, Grace's house was burned
to the ground and she nearly lost her life trying to escape it with her
parents. David was the one who found her almost lifeless body and saved her before
it was too late. Under the circumstances of no house to live in, Grace had to
leave with her parents and separate from her knight in shining armor.
18
years have gone by with thinking about each other and never reconnecting, they
meet again, this time as adults.
David,
hot sexy dreamy firefighter David (turn on the AC ladies!) , who chose his
career on that awful night 18 years ago that defined his life and 9/11 attack that stamped his
choice as a sure thing , falls madly in love with HIS Gracie and does whatever
he can to protect her and make her happy. Gracie , being all insecure with
herself, can't believe that the boy that became the man of her dreams, is
really HER David. The pull for one another is so strong that they can't resist
it and start living their lives as a loving couple.
Being in the best stage in her life with a new
dream job, new car and apartment and a dreamy hot boyfriend, Grace can't shake
the fear of David's "running into burning buildings" job that takes place
in her heart. As much as David's efforts
to assure her that he made the right choice of career, the fear is always there.
But when that becomes real and their
perfect loving bubble burst, nothing stays the same…
This
is the first Melissa Collins's book I have ever read and I'm so thankful for
that. She is a master in turning feelings in to words and I felt every little
high and low that the characters had. My
heart skipped a bit so many times and in all that emotional ride, there were a
few parts that I just couldn't stop laughing. As I said – emotional ride!
Thank
you Melissa for this beautiful story that will stay with me forever and thank
you 9/11 firefighter for leaving such an amazing legacy for the future
generation!
