Praise for A Widow’s Walk

Every survivor of 9/11 has a story to tell, but Marian Fontana seems uniquely qualified to tell hers and in doing so, embraces every victim’s spectrum of loss, grief, and closure that seems just out of reach. As a comedienne, actress, and writer, she brings to “Widow's Walk” an articulate presence, at once a compellingly readable love story, a slice of American history, and a hefty dose of the spunky determination that made her into an activist for improved working conditions for firefighters and other emergency responders and president of the 9/11 Widows and Victims Family Association. There has been, and there will be much more written about the events of September 11, 201, but readers owe it to themselves to share Marian Fontana's remarkable and inspiring story with its clear message of hope, not despair, in the face of the unthinkable.
