Here is the book synopsis of "Angel in the Rubble" by Genelle Guzman-McMillian:
Sometimes terrible things happen—and sometimes, against all odds, people survive them.
On September 11, 2001, Genelle Guzman-McMillan began her workday like any other, arriving at her job on the 64th floor of the North Tower of the World Trade Center. Then a deafening explosion shook the building. As smoke and debris filled the air, Genelle and her co-workers learned that a plane had crashed into the tower.
Initially told to remain where they were, they eventually decided to evacuate, making their way down hundreds of empty staircases. They were close to safety when the tower suddenly swayed and collapsed, trapping Genelle beneath tons of rubble.
For the next 27 hours, Genelle lay alone in darkness, unable to move, waiting to be found. She was ultimately rescued from the ruins of Ground Zero, becoming the last survivor pulled from the World Trade Center wreckage.
This gripping and deeply personal account chronicles Genelle's ordeal, her miraculous survival, and the extraordinary journey that followed. More than a story of tragedy, it is a testament to resilience, hope, faith, and the enduring strength of the human spirit.
