Beyond Tuesday Morning by Karen Kingsbury

It's been three years since the terrorist attacks on New York City, but FDNY widow Jamie Bryan keeps waking up to the aching pain of that one Tuesday morning, the morning of September 11, 2001.

Determined to find meaning in her grief, Jamie pours her life into volunteer work at St. Paul's, the small memorial chapel across from where the Twin Towers once stood. In the stream of broken, grieving people who make their way through the church doors, Jamie connects with two men -- a firefighter forever changed by the attacks, and a Los Angeles police officer.

Unsure and feeling somehow guilty Jamie opens herself to the possibility of loving again. But what she learns about one man sends her reeling. How can this be God's plan for her life?

Now only the persistence of a tenacious man, questions from Jamie's curious young daughter, and words from her dead husband's journal can move Jamie Bryan beyond one Tuesday morning -- toward life.
