clerics to sexy chorines, to growing boys of all ages. Hilarious, irreverent
and moving, Rush’s <em><b><i><font face=Verdana><span style='font-family:

five neighbors through the events of September 11th, 2001, from the attack, to
their evacuation and eventual return to or abandonment of their Ground Zero
homes. All are devastated and full of doubt about the world and about each
other. What is the truth? At what cost will the truth be uncovered? What is
“safe?” Will we ever laugh again? Life is forever changed.
Together, a young boy, a musician, a financial analyst and a couple of
comediennes stumble through the pathways of mind and heart to seek the truth
and find their way back to trust and laughter.<br>
