“…a truly excellent work of memoir and governmental thinking which allows us to compare attitudes of modern America with those of not so long ago… I would definitely recommend In its Shadow: A 9/11 Memoir to anyone looking to explore this tragic event in more detail, and from an eloquent first-hand perspective.”

“Pratt’s debut memoir offers readers a firsthand account of many familiar images of 9/11... employ[ing] deft description to make complicated emotional reactions more easily understandable...
a personal and harrowing account.”

““Author Jodi Pratt takes you there...it’s anguishing to feel it yourself, through Jodi’s clear prose. But, it’s also a surprisingly hopeful book...””

““…The author … takes us on [a] very vivid trip … [and] leave us with thoughts about our democracy that I am sure many share.””
