Where did she get her sense of adventure and wanderlust is a mystery to all, but she has it in spades, and it has served her well. Take a trip with her and maybe it will inspire you to dig out your passport too. In addition to travel and food, Erin Moss talks about that day in NYC on 9.11 and the ones that followed it in Erin's 9.11 Journal. The journals are mostly unedited and names are shortened and/or changed to protect and respect the privacy of friends and fellow travelers. Enjoy!
Erin's 9.11 Journal
ISBN: 9781508569787
​
Erin's 9.11 Journal began as an email to family and friends to let them know that she was safe that tragic morning in New York City. Erin lived in lower Manhattan. Her friends kept emailing her asking her to relay the events as they unfolded. After her initial email, she continued to inform family and friends firsthand as to what was occurring the days that followed 9.11. Erin's emails were forwarded to friends of friends and reached around the globe. Erin received correspondence from people as far as Germany, Japan, Italy, and Australia that were so touched by her personal accounts. The local paper from her hometown of Cincinnati, The Cincinnati Enquirer, caught wind of what she was doing and did an abridged version of her journal that ran for 14 consecutive days. The Baltimore Sun did a piece on Erin's 9.11 Journal and Lester Holt of MSNBC covered it on a special one-year anniversary of 9.11.​
​
Here is Erin's 9.11 Journal uncut and unedited explaining what transpired that beautiful and catastrophic day in lower Manhattan and the days that followed. This picture on the cover captures the view of the Twin Towers from Erin's rooftop.
