It is a book unlike any other for it recognizes and blesses the pain of being human."Manhattan has been washed in the blood of the lamb, " writes Kennedy, "and Ground Zero is sacred because its rains are imbued with the mystery of the lives that were lived there. This is our century's Titanic, this shipwrecked vessel from whose passengers, crew and rescuers we learn more every day about what makes anything sacred. How could we miss it?
