This book is an homage to him, and to all those who lost their lives at the World Trade Center. There is literary greatness in this book which even the best of today's fiction cannot stand up to....We see a woman who resolves to bring the 9/11 families together to protect their interest -- the country's interest -- in preserving the honor that accompanied our greatest tragedy. There is no better way to mark that honor than to read this story."-- Dennis Smith, author of "Report From Ground Zero", "Compelling, gorgeously detailed and unsparingly honest. . . . Fontana's gifts for storytelling, dialogue and characterization make the memoir a pleasure to read, even as it rips you apart."-- Marion Winik,Newsday, "A Widow's Walk manages to make an exhaustively covered public event into a riveting private narrative. . . .

Synopsis
A People Magazine Top 10 Book of the Year * "A riveting private narrative...hard to put down." -- Newsweek On September 11, 2001, Marian Fontana lost her husband, a firefighter from the elite Squad 1 in Brooklyn, in the World Trade Center attack. A Widow's Walk begins that fateful morning, when Marian, a playwright and comedienne, became a widow, a single mother, and an unlikely activist. On September 11, I dropped my son off at his second full day of kindergarten. The sky was so blue it looked as if it had been ironed. I crossed the street, ordered coffee, and sat to wait for my husband to meet me. It was our eighth wedding anniversary and Dave and I were about to begin a new chapter in our seventeen years together. Sipping coffee, I watched as a line of thick black smoke crept across the sky from Manhattan, oblivious to the fact that my life was about to change forever. Two weeks after 9/11, the city attempted to close Squad 1, which had suffered the loss of twelve men. Known for her feisty spirit and passionate loyalty, Marian, who was still reeling from her profound loss, began to mobilize the neighborhood to keep the firehouse open. From this unlikely platform the 9/11 Widows and Victims' Families Association grew. Over the next twelve months, Marian struggled with the tragedy's endless ripple effects, from the minute and deeply personal--she wonders who will play Star Wars with her son, Aidan, and carry him on his shoulders; to the collective: she works to get families and widows necessary information about the recovery effort and attends private meetings with Governor Pataki, Mayor Giuliani, Senator Clinton, and Mayor Bloomberg. Through it all, Marian's irrepressible humor is her best armor, as well as evidence of her buoyant strength. Written with great heart and humanity, A Widow's Walk is a timely opportunity for remembrance and a timeless testament to love's loss and the resilience of the human spirit., On September 11, I dropped my son off at his second full day of kindergarten.
