Call 911 on 9-11 at 9: 11: A Reality Novel by (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419603228)

Rafaella Biscayn-Debest, 14, born in Paris, but American at heart and proud to live in America is currently in the International Baccalaureate Program at Coral Reef High School; Miami's Mega Magnet School. Shortly after arriving to America, September 11th happened. That day, she was attending her 6th grade homeroom. She was 11. She was so deeply shocked, so wrecked and so sad, that coming home, she wrote in her diary deep feelings and inside thoughts, which became poems and part of what she calls a reality novel; "Call 911 on 9/11 at 9:11". "Writing is a passion for me since I was very young, I had written a lot of little things that never got finished or ended as poems, songs or really short novels." In May 2004, she received the Memorial Award for Excellence in Writing from the Dube-Brezina Foundation. "I wrote this book to escape from the horror vision I had, because I could not express myself in any other way, even with music. I needed to breath again. In August 2002, when Rafaella went to New York City to visit ground zero, she, crossing her heart and blessing America, melted in tears. "The publishing of "Call 911 on 9/11 at 9:11" is truly an experience I would like to share with others, so, I want this novel to serve as an inspiring example for kids and let them know they can achieve the same goal."
