I first heard about this book on a trip I took to Newfoundland 4 years ago. I finally decided to read it, and I’m so glad I did. The stories told are beautiful and heartbreaking all at once. Truly a wonderful reminder that kindness can change the world.

This book shows just how many good people are still left in the world.

During a time when the world is falling apart this gives us all something to hold on to…

I’ve read this many times. I blubber through it every time.

I enjoyed the musical “Come from Away” before reading this book, and the additional wealth of stories and details here provide a fuller & richer experience. There is no silver living to 9/11 but the story of the world coming to the doorstep of this little Canadian town is the closest possible thing.

Too many story lines. Super boring. Had to read for school, but I would not recommend.

Captivating and uplifting! Not at all disheartening even though it is centered around one of the most tragic days in history.

The events of 9/11 for the passengers of the Flights who landed in Gander were human kindness from our Canadian neighbors. The book is a page turner and eyes moist.

This book deserves an award for teaching us the true nature of human beings. The musical, “Come From Away”, does not do the book justice. You can tell the material is well-researched and that love is so much apart of the Christian “Newfies”. RSBTHREE

After seeing the Broadway play based on this book, Come From Away, I purchased and read this factual, heartfelt account of the people of the Gander New Foundland area and the 38 planes diverted there after 9/11. Highly recommend both the book and play. Thank you!
