*Intermittently through the month of September, we are airing newly recorded as well as archival interviews to commemorate the 25th anniversry of 9/11.*. Today- Gwendolyn Bounds, former Wall Street Journal reporter, talks about her memoir- "Little Chapel on the River." She was one of the thousands of people living in Manhattan at the time of 9/11 who suddenly found themselves homeless. Bounds ultimately resettled in a small community in the Hudson River Valley .... where she lives to this very day. She says in the book that this was an instance of "not just figuring out where to live... but how to live."
