Based on the tragedy of the Twin Towers … two powerful novels of heroism, loss, and redemption by New York Times bestselling author Karen Kingsbury ONE TUESDAY MORNING The last thing Jake Bryan knew was the sound of the World Trade Center collapsing on top of him and his fellow firefighters. The man in the hospital bed remembers nothing. Not rushing with his teammates up the stairway of the south tower to help trapped victims. Not being blasted from the building. And not the woman sitting by his bedside who says she is his wife. Jamie Bryan will do anything to help her beloved husband regain his memory. But that means helping Jake rediscover the one thing Jamie has never shared with him: his deep faith in God. BEYOND TUESDAY MORNING Determined to find meaning in her grief three years after the terrorist attacks on New York City, FDNY widow Jamie Bryan pours her life into volunteer work at a small memorial chapel across from where the Twin Towers once stood. There, unsure and feeling somehow guilty, Jamie opens herself to the possibility of love again. But, in the face of a staggering revelation, only the persistence of a tenacious man, questions from Jamie’s curious daughter, and words from her dead husband’s journal can move Jamie beyond one Tuesday morning … toward life.

As preparations are made for a Baxter family reunion, a deadly diagnosis sends a wave of shock through the family as they face an uncertain future.

Martin a Ema se rozhodli všechno skončit. Po letech manželství naplněných prací a péčí o děti se octili v začarovaném kruhu neporozumění a vnitřního odcizení. Pro všechny kolem představují dokonalý pár – obdivovaný přáteli a kolegy, ceněný jejich dětmi. Jejich manželství jim mnozí závidí. Ale Martin s Emou vědí, že jejich štěstí je jen předstíranou pózou. Ve skutečnosti čekají na správný čas, aby svým dětem oznámili, že se chystají rozvést. Avšak u rodinného setkání, kde k tomu má dojít, Nikol překvapeným rodičům sděluje, že se bude vdávat. Jak jí mohou zkazit radost svým oznámením? Nezbývá než předstírat, že je všechno v pořádku, dokud svatba neproběhne. Je ještě možné, aby pro ně byla cesta zpět? Nebo je již příliš pozdě na to, aby v sobě objevili ztracenou lásku?

„Urobil si správne rozhodnutie, a preto si odvážny – ten najodvážnejší rytier v krajine.“ Niekedy sa víťazom nestane ten najrýchlejší, najsilnejší či najchytrejší, ale ten, kto sa napriek protivenstvám rozhodne urobiť to, čo je správne a pravdivé. Ponorte sa do pútavého rozprávania uznávanej autorky Karen Kingsbury a očarujúcich kresieb ilustrátorky Gabrielle Grimard a vydajte sa na cestu, kde uprostred horúceho zápolenia o významnú cenu rozhodnutia jedného mladého rytiera prinesú silné posolstvo celému kráľovstvu.
