Den elfte september 2001 kom att för alltid förändra hur världen ser ut. Bilder från det fruktansvärda terrorangreppet mot World Trade Center i New York strömmade ut i världen samtidigt som det pågick, men vad hände egentligen inne i byggnaden? Michael var blind sedan födseln och tillsammans med sin trogna ledarhund Roselle tog han sig genom vardagen. Den elfe september gick inget brandlarm. Det Michael däremot hörde var jättelika smällar som följdes av ljudet av krossat glas och skrik. Han såg inget, men han hörde. Tillsammans med Roselle tar sig Michael helskinnad genom det brinnande infernot. Detta är den spännande och otroliga berättelsen om en blind mans, och hans hunds, öde mitt i en av historiens mest tumultartade ögonblick ...

Han har varit blind sedan födseln och upplevde attacken mot World Trade Center på mycket nära håll.Susy Flory är en amerikansk författare.
