In remembrance of 9/11, join us for a special author event featuring Clarence Singleton, a former Marine, firefighter, and veteran who responded to both attacks on the World Trade Center.
This event will feature a presentation by the author followed by audience Q&A. An opportunity to purchase his book and meet the author will follow the formal program.
ABOUT THE BOOK
How do you keep going forward when hope and a miracle are nowhere in sight? From the dust and rubble of Ground Zero on 9/11, Clarence Singleton takes readers on a harrowing emotional journey to hope and starting over.
From the jungles of Vietnam, where he was awarded a Purple Heart, to the ash of that unspeakable day in our history, from a hard-scrabble childhood, to a new marriage and the promise of a loving future, Singleton never quits, never gives up. Even facing post-traumatic stress disorder, where every crowded mall or sound of a helicopter sends his body signals that it's time to "fight or take flight," Clarence still puts one foot in front of the other, through his deep faith and abiding sense of duty, to move forward to a miracle.
