Disclimer: I recieved this book from +Laura Fabiani iRead Book Tours for a book tour and to give my honesty review
Discription: Asia Cottom lived eleven short years on this earth. Her tragic death on Flight #77 on 9/11 is forever etched in the hearts of the countless people who loved her. But her wise and influential life, her positive attitude, and profound faith in God are her true legacy.

You may love God with all your heart and soul, yet not understand what He is doing. In Asia’s New Wings, Clifton and Dr. Michelle Cottom, along with family and friends, walk beside you, sharing their thoughts and offering compassion to help you come to a place of acceptance, when trying to make sense of suffering great loss. The people in this book have learned to come to terms with what God allows, and are now in a place where they can help heal others. If you have gone—or are going through—the “valley of despair,” you will find comfort and empathy from those who care. You will also find hope and the strength to move forward as you rediscover your life.

What Asia's parents and all those who loved her went through, healed from, and learned will bring comfort and relief to those who travel down the road of loss. Reading and experiencing Asia's story will truly bring healing and life to all who turn these pages.

This is a lovely book. It shows how her parents dealt with their little girls death. It shows the process of how each person who loved Asia began healing.

It also helps other parents who had to deal with loss. What a way to celebrate a child's life in the best way. It talks about the foundation they created in her name.

It references Asia saying's though out the book. It surely amazing that what Asia said to her parents or mother came true as Asia had known she be leaving this world.

I really enjoyed it. It sure has the history of that day. It tells the story of September 11, 2001. It is told in a way a parent loses someone special. The children are more loss to any parents and this book is meant to help them deal with it.

Guest Post with Clifton and Michelle Cottoms

Here is my Guest post with Clifton and Michelle Cottoms. They are the author of Asia's New Wings. This was the hardest to come put with Non Fiction questions for them in an Interview. So I asked to put it as a Guest Post to them. Thesere were the only Questions I could come up with for them to answer. They are here though a book tour +Laura Fabiani iRead Book Tours. Let welcome to Nighttime Reading Center.

1. What inspired you to write your little girl's story?
Asia’s New Wings: The Untold Story of a Young Girl Lost on 9/11 is a story about Asia’s life, passion, legacy and how to move on after experiencing lost on a world-wide platform. The book describes how a family turns the most tragic situation in our lives into an opportunity to immortalize Asia and educate a nation. We were motivated to write the book because many people keep telling us that we needed to share Asia’s story and many had no idea children were lost during the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Based on the feedback we have received the book seems to help people with their grief even if it’s not the grief of losing a child. We’ve been told that our strength is an example for others. Writing this book has helped us continue to heal and achieve receive some level of closure. We can better share Asia’s story with a peace which is hard to describe.

2. Did this book give you some peace and or closure?
We live each day one at a time. Losing a child is not normal so there will never be a “new normal” We live each day as it comes and we count our blessings. We keep Asia with us alive and well in our hearts, minds and our soul. We talk about her often and daily. It is not painful, it is thoughtful and on purpose Our memories are full of joy not the pain and sting of death.

3. What is your message to parents who have lost a child in death?
The bible says a peace that surpasses all understanding. We have learned to accept what God allows rather we like it or not. We have learned how to live on. We did not write the book for ourselves but to bring recognition to the ASC Memorial Scholarship Fund so that we could send more people to college. However we are fortunate that our accomplishments and the awareness from our book Asia’s New Wings have garnered us; we are the proud recipients of the 1st Readers Legacy Philanthropy Award.

Thanks and I hope you stop by once more
