'Beyond Tuesday Morning' by Karen Kingsbury.
Testimonials from New York firefighters touched by a novel about 9/11 will be cited in the promotion of a sequel due next month.
Karen Kingsbury's "Beyond Tuesday Morning," whose cover shows a windswept view of lower Manhattan from the Staten Island Ferry, will continue the story begun in "One Tuesday Morning," published last year.
Jamie Bryan, widow of a firefighter who died in the collapse of the twin towers, is now a volunteer at St. Paul's Chapel, the 9/11 memorial and spiritual oasis near Ground Zero.
She's pulled her life back together, but a chance meeting at St. Paul's with a visiting Los Angeles policeman, with whom she feels an unexpected connection, challenges her to look forward, not back.
Copies of "One Tuesday Morning" - characterized as an "inspirational romance" by Publishers Weekly, and became a best-seller in the Christian book market - were sent by Kingsbury and her family to New York firehouses.
"We lost seven good men on that day and I also was almost killed," a firefighter wrote back.
"For the last two years, I have been in a dark place, a place that was not good for me or my family," he added. "But now you have made me see the light I have been looking for."
The prolific Kingsbury writes for three publishers. After "Beyond Tuesday Morning," due from Zondervan, her novel "A Thousand Tomorrows" will introduce Time Warner Book Group's Center Street imprint next spring."
