Summary

"Kristen Breitweiser was a happy young suburban mother and housewife leading a privileged life. Then, on the morning of September 11, 2001, her husband, Ron, called from his office in the World Trade Center." "The call ended abruptly and Kristen watched with horror as the second tower exploded. In that frozen instant, she felt in her heart that Ron had been killed." "Wake-Up Call is the story of a woman whose world was shattered by terrorism - and who, with no husband by her side or father for her child, found the courage and strength to not only build a new life, but become one of the country's most outspoken activists and harshest critics of the current administration." "While describing her journey, Breitweiser discloses eye-opening information about mistakes made prior to the 9/11 attacks, cover-ups discovered during her campaign for the 9/11 Commission, surprising encounters with some of the country's most powerful officials, and unsettling facts about present-day national security."--BOOK JACKET.
