Your Father's Voice: Letters for Emmy About Life with Jeremy--and Without Him After 9/11

On September 11 2001 Jeremy Glick boarded United Flight 93 only because a fire at Newark Airport had prevented him from flying out the day before. That morning he called his wife Lyz to tell her the plane had been hijacked and that he and a group of others were going to storm the cockpit an effort that doomed Glick and his fellow passengers yet doubtless saved lives on the ground and instantly became known worldwide as a heroic moment of resistance. But Lyz wanted the couples daughter Emmy only three months old when the plane crashed to learn much more of her fathers story than just the ending. Your Fathers Voice narrates Lyzs struggle to come to grips with her husbands death in a series of letters from Lyz to Emmy that give a wrenching but clear-eyed account of Lyzs first years without Jeremy. Through it all Lyz pragmatically details the challenges of a single parent raising a daughter in the aftermath of horrific tragedy and urges Emmy to listen for what Lyz can still hear when the wind is right: her fathers voice.
