Product Information

On September 11, I dropped my son off at his second full day of kindergarten. The sky was so blue it looked as if it had been ironed. I crossed the street, ordered coffee, and sat to wait for my husband to meet me. It was our eighth wedding anniversary and Dave and I were about to begin a new chapter in our seventeen years together. Sipping coffee, I watched as a line of thick black smoke crept across the sky from Manhattan, oblivious to the fact that my life was about to change forever.On September 11, 2001, Marian Fontana lost her husband, Dave, a firefighter from the elite Squad 1 in Brooklyn, in the World Trade Center attack.A Widow's Walkbegins that fateful morning, when Marian, a playwright and comedienne, became a widow, a single mother, and an unlikely activist.Two weeks after 9/11, the city attempted to close Squad 1, which had suffered the loss of twelve men. Known for her feisty spirit and passionate loyalty, Marian, who was still reeling from her profound loss, began to mobilize the neighborhood to keep the firehouse open. From this unlikely platform the 9/11 Widows and Victims' Families Association grew. Over the next twelve months, Marian struggled with the tragedy's endless ripple effects, from the minute and deeply personal -- she wonders who will play Star Wars with her son, Aidan, and carry him on his shoulders -- to the political. She works to get families and widows necessary information about the recovery effort and attends private meetings with Governor Pataki, Mayor Giuliani, Senator Clinton, and Mayor Bloomberg.Through it all, Marian's irrepressible humor is her best armor and evidence of her buoyant strength. Written with great heart and humanity, A Widow's Walk is a timely opportunity for remembrance and a timeless testament to love's loss and the resilience of the human spirit.

Reviews
"In her courageous book, A Widow's Walk, Marian Fontana, brings us into the life of a firefighter's wife and shows us a mother's love that transcends all hurt, and a widow's love that preserves the memory of her husband, Dave -- as beautiful a husband and father as can be found. This book is an homage to him, and to all those who lost their lives at the World Trade Center. There is literary greatness in this book which even the best of today's fiction cannot stand up to....We see a woman who resolves to bring the 9/11 families together to protect their interest -- the country's interest -- in preserving the honor that accompanied our greatest tragedy. There is no better way to mark that honor than to read this story."-- Dennis Smith, author of Report From Ground Zero, "Fontana tugs at the heartstrings in this engrossing, inspiring 9/11 memoir."-- Kirkus Reviews (starred), "More than a chronicle of grief, more than a tale of how tragedy prompted courageous activism, A Widow's Walk is a love story. How sweet and wonderful that Marian Fontana introduces us not just to the hero firefighter that perished in 9/11, but also to the loving husband, doting father, and steadfast friend that Dave Fontana so clearly was."-- Philip van Munching, author of Boys Will Put You On A Pedestal, "Fontana tugs at the heartstrings in this engrossing, inspiring 9/11 memoir."--Kirkus Reviews(starred), "A memoir remarkable for its keen, close descriptions and characterizations, its humor and strength, and its great, hope-filled heart."-- Elle magazine, "A Widow's Walk is not only a deeply moving portrait of familial grief, a tribute to the firefighters who died on 9/11, a call to action for justice for those most affected by the tragedy, and an insider's bracing take on the political machinations that followed but also a snapshot of our country at a time of crisis. The miracle of Fontana's tale is that it is somehow funny -- painfully funny -- and true to life and redemptive. It makes you wonder how we, as a nation, have gone so long without this book."-- Elissa Schappell, author of Use Me and The Friend Who Got Away
