Overview

A decade after September 11, 2001, the nation continues to mourn what was lost: nearly 3,000 lives, and the innocence of a nation that will forever be changed. LeRoy W. Homer, Jr. was the first officer and co-pilot of United Flight 93; the morning of September 11, the flight was diverted to Washington, D.C., before crashing into a deserted field. Had it not been for the heroic efforts of crew members such as LeRoy, the plane would have crashed into its intended target--the U.S. Capitol--destroying more lives and the symbol of a nation united. In From Where I Stand, Homer's wife Melodie chronicles the events of that day and the "new normal" that ensued: media calling for a quote every time a story broke related to September 11; raising children while living with post-traumatic stress disorder; and standing up to LeRoy's employer, United Airlines. The last ten years have been a daily struggle, yet as Melodie proves in this ultimately uplifting journey, "there is a better future ahead."
