Channel of Peace: Stranded in Gander on 9/11 (Signed) - Tuerff, Kevin

SIGNED "KEVIN TUERFF, REAL KEVIN FROM COME FROM AWAY" on title page; As New; When Kevin Tuerff and his partner flew from France to New York City on Sept 11 in 2001, they had no idea that the world - and their lives - would change forever. When US airspace closed after the terrorist attacks, Kevin, who was experiencing doubts about organized religion, found himself in the small town of Gander, Newfoundland in Canada with thousands of refugees or "come from aways." Yet, when all seemed dark, the people of Gander rallied and the "plane people" experienced boundless acts of generosity. Channel of Peace tells the story of how Gander's compassion, then and now, has ignited a spirit of kindness that renewed Kevin's spirituality and has inspired an annual and growing "giving back" day. "The message of this book is very important because our world is divided by increasing hatred and intolerance. This is a beautiful story about how a seed of love can be planted within someone and years later grow into a beautiful, flowering tree."
