Phoenix

To live a life in fear is a life half lived…

September 11 in New York City began as an ordinary day, but within hours, terror had changed the world forever. Heroes died, and heroes were created—ordinary men and women who faced the tragedy and became extraordinary.

Phoebe Warren, an Australian nurse, visiting the Trade Center, narrowly escapes death when the towers fall, but her brother is killed. Ten months later she returns to New York, determined to overcome the aftermath of terror and find answers. Her meeting and growing friendship with Brooklyn firefighter, Sean Connor, begins a life-challenging journey where they find that death is not an end but a beginning.

With humour and with the irrepressible camaraderie of firefighters, Phoebe and Sean discover meaning amid pain and loss, but is their spiritual, emotional, and physical transformation enough to overcome the fear of that day? Will they rise like the phoenix from the ashes of 9/11?
