In an instant, the clear distinction between real life and fiction they've always relied on has been obliterated.

Before nightfall that will have become impossible as fires rage, towers fall, and the past crumbles to dust.A New York firefighter. His wife, an OR nurse. Their sons and his male lover. A Mossad agent on the most unlikely of operations and his handler in Tel Aviv. A law student who writes short stories. A former Broadway chorus boy and a soap star diva turned attorney. A middle aged businessman and the young British aristocrat he meets every morning for coffee on their way to their offices in the World Trade Center. Featuring a cast of characters who have forged relationships going back decades and told from the perspective that history is not the account of a few great figures but the sum total of human experiences, INTERSECTIONS traces the paths that lead everyday yet extraordinary people to September 11 and the trajectories of the survivors following the day that changed everything.From the author of THE NAVIGATORS, LODESTAR, and THE CURRENT, INTERSECTIONS tells the story of how our relationships sustain us and how we always find a way to carry on.INTERSECTIONS: You wake up in the morning and you're in the middle of history.
