An extraordinary book that is heartbreaking, shocking, compassionate, and uplifting One of the more heartbreaking memories of 9/11 was seeing Howard Lutnick, the CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, being interviewed by Connie Chung on ABC News.

Fast forward several decadesI had read about Lauren but didn't realize who she was since she went by her married name. Then I read an excerpt from "Unmeasured Strength" a few years ago and have been meaning to read the book itself, which I just did. Her story is one of incredible courage, inner strength and the wil. Compelling Story D. Germain I've followed Lauren Manning since learning of her terrible ordeal days after 9/11. After reading her story in the book by her husband Greg, I've followed her life and recovery through the occasional media story. To have now read about her ordeal from her own perspective was a true gift from her to the reader. It's hard to imagine anyone going through what she endured to emerge with such a positive outlook on life. The story is so gripping, I literally could not put the book down.
