⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

September 11, 2001, when the unthinkable happened, all the planes bound for the United States were forced to land, Gander, Newfoundland was the landing site for 38 airliners. Gander had a population of nearly 10,000 but suddenly had close to 7,000 passengers to house and feed. 

This book tells the story of how the very worst of people brought out the best of people.
