- Book Synopsis
- When Flight 93 crashed in that Pennsylvania field-amidst unfolding tragedy in New York City and Washington D.C.-America grieved alongside those who had lost family and friends. But long before 9/11, that land had been wounded too, lush forests becoming mines before becoming empty fields struggling to thrive. As the community began to plan and build a memorial, they focused on remembrance and growth. Trees, they thought, would help the people root to the past but grow towards the light. And every year people planted. Discover the inspirational story of the programme (Plant a Tree at Flight 93) that restored the strip-mined land surrounding the national memorial in the years following 9/11. Through lyrical prose and lush art, 150,000 Trees illuminates the hope and empathy of the American people and shows the power of individuals to make a difference.Releasing in time for the 25th anniversary of 9/11
