[A 9/11 Dual Perspective Novel | Inspired by Ground Zero by Alan Gratz] Two strangers. Two cities. One sky. 📍 New York City, 2001 Danny Ryland never expected to become a hero. But on the morning the North Tower falls, he carries a young girl out of the rubble - and finds a hand-drawn picture clutched in her fist. A picture that will change his life. 📍 Kabul, Afghanistan, 2001 Laila Amiri draws skies filled with stars - not smoke. But in the wake of 9/11, her world becomes even more dangerous. With her father gone and the Taliban closing in, she must protect her younger brother... and a drawing she thought she'd lost forever. Across letters, loss, and the long echo of war, two lives collide without ever meeting. Bound by a single image, Danny and Laila carry each other through the darkest of days - one holding on from the ashes, the other looking up at the sky. 💌 For fans of Alan Gratz, Ruta Sepetys, and real stories of resilience. 🔁 Told in alternating POVs. Based on true events. Inspired by hope. (Also my first story so I hope you enjoy it)

At 10 (1940), Lieselotte Vogt and Fritz Brendler made a promise that someday-in the future-they would marry eachother. But as they both move to Berlin in 1943, Lieselotte doesn't have the heart to admit her father is an Allied spy. Their bond grows distant as Lieselotte finds herself pledging allegiance to the Allies- and Fritz pledging his allegiance to the Axis. Very confusing so I'll simplify here: Lovers to enemies Fritz x reader. Maybe romantic Michael x reader if I feel like it. (PROJEKT 1065 DOES NOT BELONG TO ME!!!)
