Chasing Sunsets is a multi-generational story that begins in Germany at the end of WWII, and ends on the pages of the New York Post in 2013 and has been referred to as, "The Notebook" meets "Sliding Doors."
 
The story is told via 30-something New York-based lifestyle publicist Sarah Emma Redding, the granddaughter of Holocaust survivors Charlotte and Frederic Rosenthal and the daughter of Gabe and Sophie Redding.  After a martini too many, Sarah Emma has a moment of uncharacteristic vulnerability and opens up to Liam, a journalist she'd been quietly crushing on. She shares that her life took a dramatic turn following the recent passing of her mother and family secrets that came to light shortly after. Intrigued, Liam coaxes Sarah Emma to share more details. The next night, over dinner, she begins her story, in 1945,at a displaced persons camp in Germany, where her grandparents met. As the story of the past unfolds and bleeds into the present, it explores the long shadow cast by the Holocaust, family dynamics, the paths of twins separate lives that become intertwined, class and social issues. But ultimately, it's a story of different kinds of love.

It's me with another 9/11 story bc I have some weird stomach bug North Tower. She's an 11-year-old Manhattan native in the sixth grade. This girl loves reading, writing, art, and spending time with the best twin sister in the world. She also captains a team in one of the most well-known junior ice hockey leagues in the country. The only odd thing about her? She is the heart and soul...of one of the most famous buildings in New York City. Even that isn't very odd, at least not until the building comes crashing down one seemingly normal Tuesday morning. South Tower. 2001 is gonna be HER YEAR! Well...of course she's sharing it with her sister. Her silver hair, piercing silver eyes, and pale silver skin make her stand out from the millions of New Yorkers around her. Unlike her sister, she shines bright between the pipes as an extremely talented young goaltender. Everything else about her is the same as her sister, so they get along very well. South Tower really loves being a twin. Especially a Twin Tower. Trevor. He is twenty-one years old and just started working as a financial advisor in the 7 World Trade Center building. Living and working in bustling, colorful Lower Manhattan was his dream throughout all of his mostly boring Oklahoma childhood, and now he finally gets to do it for real! But one hot Tuesday morning in mid-September changes his New York City life in ways he never imagined. James. He's finally turning forty years old. He's the proud father of identical twin girls and the owner of a very successful Manhattan café. September 11 is going to be a very busy birthday for James! In addition to being a busy day, it will also be an emotional day. Especially when his daughters, the World Trade Center's Twin Towers, collapse and perish before his very eyes. Chapters are kinda short sorry ~COMPLETED!~ Word count: about 18k
