"At the heart of "American Widow" is the notion of Sept. 11 as
a personal, rather than a national or political, tragedy, which,
this achingly tender work reminds us, is exactly what it was." --
LA Times
Want to honor those who passed during 9-11? Turn off the stupid
documentary glorifying all of those images we''ve seen over and
over, and read this sincere account of how that fateful day
effected one person that represents all of us.” — Aint It Cool
News
“[A] raw, occasionally maddening, bracing graphic memoir…
Unbearably moving.” — The New York Times Book Review
“Reading it, you feel that Torres could be your friend or neighbor;
she makes an epic tragedy intimate.” — Newsday
On September 10, 2001, Eddie Torres started his dream job at Cantor
Fitzgerald in the North Tower of the World Trade Center. The next
morning, he said goodbye to his 7?-months-pregnant wife, Alissa,
and headed out the door.
In an instant, Alissa’s world was thrown into chaos. Forced to deal
with unimaginable challenges, Alissa suddenly found herself cast
into the role of “911 widow,” tossed into a storm of bureaucracy,
politics, patriotism, mourning, consolation, and, soon enough,
motherhood.
Beautifully and thoughtfully illustrated, American Widow is the
affecting account of one woman’s journey through shock, pain,
birth, and rebirth in the aftermath of a great tragedy. It is also
the story of a young couple’s love affair: how a Colombian
immigrant and a strong-minded New Yorker met, fell in love, and
struggled to fulfill their dreams. Above all, American Widow is a
tribute to the resilience of the human heart and the very personal
story of how one woman endured a very public tragedy.
