EFFORT TO IDENTIFY THE MISSING

FROM THE BACK OF THE COVER/JACKET:

I suppose I was lucky. When Tuesday, September 11, 2001, dawned & most of the world witnessed the attacks on the World Trade Center, I naively underestimated the magnitude of the task facing me.  I never stopped to consider how long the project would take, the effect it would have on my life & family, & especially the emotional toll it would exact.

Thankfully, there has been a silver lining: the families who lost their loved ones. These wonderful people bonded with me & my staff, made us feel wanted & important, consoled us, & showed us why our efforts were worthwhile.  Too often, I'm afraid, we agonized over our work & worried about the effect it was having on these families, eschewing the emotional toll it was taking on us.  We often cried at our computers & at weekly meetings with the families. Sometimes we highe-fived after identifying someone, or we'd steal away to an out-of-the-way corner to be alone or simply go for a walk to deal with our emotions. . .

After twenty-five years at the medical examiner's office, I doubted anything could be as important in my career as identifying those who died on September 11, 2001.
