About the book

We will never forget

GROUND ZERO SPIRIT: 25 Years of Resilience

Twenty-five years ago, the world changed in a single morning. On Sept. 11, 2001, ordinary people became heroes. Firefighters climbed into burning towers. Strangers carried strangers down dozens of flights of stairs. A nation sat stunned in front of its televisions, then stood up and got to work.

"GROUND ZERO SPIRIT: 25 Years of Resilience" revisits that day through the images and voices that defined it. But this book doesn't stop at the wreckage. It follows the long road from grief to rebuilding: the memorials, the communities restored, the first responders still fighting for their health and the generation that grew up in the aftermath.

Where we were. What we lost. How far we've come.

Don't miss 160 pages of stunning photography and insightful reporting from The Westchester Journal News, The Bergen Record and Asbury Park Press.
