Miss You, Pat by Sharon Watts

This is one of the most recent books I wrote a review for. It is published and live at www.midwestbookreview.com . You can find it under “Reviewer’s Bookwatch” at the far left. Then click on the February 2008 issue. Miss You, Pat is the first review there.
“Miss You, Pat” compelled me to seek out an interview with the author, Sharon Watts. She has agreed and now we’re looking for a publisher. My first attempt is with the prestigious journal, “The Sun.”
If anyone is interested, Miss You, Pat is available at Amazon. The proceeds go to Bent On Learning, a not-for-profit program that brings yoga and meditation to NYC public schools and youth centers. For more information go to www.bentonlearning.org. The book was published on Pat’s birthday, 11/9, and to be included among the archives at the National September 11 Memorial & Museum at the World Trade Center.
From my review:
“Some events should never be forgotten. Some people should not be either. What love has a man? One that is selfless. He paves a path to excellence.

I’m on the 35th floor, okay, okay? Just relay to the command post we’re trying to get up. There’s numerous civilians at all stairwells, numerous burn injuries are coming down. I’m trying to send them down first. Apparently it’s above the 75th floor. I don’t know if they got there yet. Okay, Three Truck and we are still heading up. Okay? Thank you. —Captain Patrick J. Brown
Just when we have begun to lose our faith in humankind, a larger than life hero steps up for the fight. Miss You, Pat is a haunting book that promises to restore your confidence. Pat’s nobility demonstrates the best of our humanity. In an era where we seek for ourselves, Pat distinguished himself by giving the greatest measure of love one can give. What love has a man? Sacrifice of himself for another. A highly recommended read.”
