Excerpt
After September 11, it suddenly became important to me to find some way to capture such thoughts from Marylanders. I couldn't stand the thought of adults and children alike harboring their thoughts about the attacks, never getting the chance to let others know how they experienced this tragedy. I called some friends together, pitched my idea for an anthology of Maryland residents' reactions, and within an hour, the 9/11 Project was up and running, accepting submissions for publication.
