When the Twin Towers collapsed, the world mourned. Madelyn should’ve been in the north tower but she was running late for work that morning.
On the morning of September 11, 2001, Madelyn Henry finds herself in a fine pickle when she discovers she’s pregnant, the unfortunate result of a rape during a summer work picnic. The idea of a baby sends her into an emotional tailspin and causes her to miss her 7:30 train to the World Trade Center.
Thoughts of securing an abortion plague her late commute but when she arrives in the city she is immediately distracted. The Financial District is a crime scene; the Twin Towers were attacked by terrorists and have collapsed. As the enormity of what occurred starts to sink in, Madelyn realizes this little pickle growing within her, saved her life.
Nearly a decade passes since that catastrophic summer of 2001. Just when Madelyn has finally reached a sense of peace, she encounters her rapist, who she assumed died on 9/11. This man will stop at nothing to get what he wants. Madelyn would sooner die than give it to him.
When he is found murdered and Madelyn becomes the prime suspect, the safe little world she painstakingly built begins to crumble. She is in for the fight of her life. Again.
