Beauty Beyond the Ashes: Choosing Hope After Crisis

On the morning of September 11, 2001, Cheryl McGuinness kissed her husband good-bye as he headed off to work.

She never saw him again.

Tom McGuinness was the co-pilot of American Airlines Flight 11 — the first airplane to crash into the World Trade Center. On that day, Cheryl's world fell apart.

But since that day, Cheryl McGuinness has learned how to hope again. Through her powerful story, the rest of us can find our way to hope as well. Cheryl's message of renewal, recovery, and faith is a message that resonates with every aching heart.

As you read through this intimate look at heartbreak and joy, you will discover an incredible sense of the good that is yet to be, and you will find in yourself a growing conviction that with God's help, you can face any sorrow or pain.
