In the span of a few days she finds evidence of her husband's infidelity, is diagnosed with breast cancer, and suffers a miscarriage. A friend's invitation to use his art studio at the World Trade Center gives her hope. Or at least a distraction. John Butterfield's life is falling into place. Three years after the brutal rape of his wife, the resultant demise of his marriage, and an injury that forced him into early retirement from the police force, he has made his peace. Sort of. One bright Tuesday morning in September, John is out sailing on the Hudson River. On that same Tuesday morning, Brenda is in the north tower of the World Trade Center. At 8:46 a.m. everything changes. John spends the day ferrying people back and forth on his sailboat – from lower Manhattan to Jersey City. Brenda's family spends the day fearing the worst when she doesn't return home. And a hand reaching out of the darkness puts everything into perspective.
Stay Here (360 Pages): Retired cop John Butterfield is about to propose to the love of his life when he suddenly finds himself identifying the body of his best friend, sitting vigil over his comatose ex-wife, and in temporary guardianship of the child he walked away from six years before – the child who was at the center of his marriage’s unravelling. Art therapist Annie Wells (a.k.a. Brenda Arnstein) survived the 9/11 attacks, and for the next three years, outlived a terminal cancer diagnosis. Just as she is beginning to soften to the idea of spending the rest of her life – however short it may be – with John, the cancer begins to invade new spaces. A shattering discovery forces John to come face-to-face with his past mistakes – the ones that still haunt him – and tests his relationship with Annie in ways he never thought possible.
