    The Day the World came to Town - Jim Defede

#monthlykeywordchallenge - June

What awesome people live in Gander , Newfoundland and the surrounding towns.  When 911 happened, 38 planes were forced to land in Gander. The townspeople welcomed them with open arms, fed them, clothed them, and even invited some of these strangers into there homes. 

I hope to see the musical that is inspired by this book.

Goodreads :
"For the better part of a week, nearly every man, woman, and child in Gander and the surrounding smaller towns stopped what they were doing so they could help. They placed their lives on hold for a group of strangers and asked for nothing in return. They affirmed the basic goodness of man at a time when it was easy to doubt such humanity still existed.
