A Fall of Marigolds | Susan Meissner

August 2025 Book #6

I didn‘t connect with this novel story because it was like some kind of forced, conveniently constructed to just have something related with September 11 events. That‘s how I felt as a reader. However, during reading time, I absolutely transpited my thoughts of what happened that day and it was devastated to me. Just like I feel when I read novels about the WWI, WWII or any other tragic event. Still don‘t understand why ⬇️

Gissy (Cont.) it occurred…because some people disagree in topic/issues related with politics, power, religion, culture etc,? so many innocent people paid for that💔😢

This is a heartbreaking novel, but in my case, I couldn‘t connect with how the plot was developed, but the theme was a powerful.

One Tuesday Morning | Karen Kingsbury

where were you that day
when it all went away — the
world that we once knew.

day of infamy,
thousands lost — landscape of our
world forever changed.

I have that morning burned into my memory. I was a senior in a private high school & we were in chapel. One of my teachers came in to tell us what happened. We had his class next hour & sat there listening to the towers collapse on the radio. #neverforget ♥️🤍💙

CBee Thank you for posting this. It seems like it‘s being overshadowed by other news today and we must #neverforget. I was 24, and when I saw it on TV I thought it was an action movie at first 😢 4mo
Cuilin @CBee agreed. It was my due date, I was convinced I would go into labor. My husband had an interview in a tower in Boston. They called and canceled it as they were evacuating all tall buildings in the city. Such a sad day #NeverForget. @JenlovesJT47 lovely tribute 4mo

CBee @Cuilin I can‘t imagine being pregnant on that day! And your due date! Wow. 4mo
ImperfectCJ I was at work, and we followed it on the radio then on TV before we were sent home. My dad worked in the Pentagon, so it was a relief when we could finally get through by phone and confirm he was okay. (His section of the building was under construction, so he was working off-site, but I didn't know that until the evening.) Thank you for posting this. 4mo
JenlovesJT47 @CBee I spent the morning watching news footage on YouTube, don‘t know why I do this to myself every year but we must #neverforget 🫂♥️🤍💙 4mo
JenlovesJT47 @ImperfectCJ that‘s so scary that he worked at the Pentagon! There‘s not tons of footage from there so I don‘t know much about it but I‘m glad he wasn‘t there. Such an awful day 🫂♥️💙🤍 4mo
JenlovesJT47 @Cuilin being pregnant and that being your due date on top of everything, I can‘t imagine. Glad your husband wasn‘t there. So awful. 🫂♥️🤍💙 4mo

The Man Who Walked Between the Towers is perfect for grades 2–4 because it teaches about courage, focus, and following your dreams. The story shows how Philippe Petit‘s determination helped him accomplish an amazing and risky feat. It encourages students to think about setting goals and overcoming fear.

The Man Who Walked Between the Towers tells the true story of Philippe Petit, who walked on a tightrope between the Twin Towers in New York City. The pictures show how high his walk was on the tightrope. This is a so-so for me because the idea of it freaked me out.

I would use this book to emphasize courage in everyday life.
