Free American By Choice Ebooks To Download
American By Choice is a modern day odyssey, the story of a young boy from Ecuador who comes to America and encounters the challenges faced by every newly arriving immigrant; the story of a man who rises to the rank of Captain in New York's renowned FDNY. The book is a tribute to family, friends, mentors, guides, and to brother firefighters here and throughout the international community. It takes us to the island of Culebra in the aftermath of Hurricane Hugo, to Oklahoma City, and to the World Trade Center on the morning of September 11th, 2001, where Captain Alfredo Fuentes was buried under the rubble of the collapsed North Tower. In the end, it is a story about coming home that embraces the thousands of strangers he has met along the way. It is a story of America.

Finished the book in 1 day, it brought hope and inspiration to me after that tragic day of Sept. 11. It will help keep the memory alive of all those lost
As an avid reader, I so enjoyed this book. It was easy reading and it touched my heart. I realized how important is to enjoy life as it could gone in a minute. It brought me inside 9/11/2001 alongside the firefighters to witness their efforts. I'm also so proud to call myself an american. A must read for all, truly enjoyable. Thanks America
Reading Al's first hand account of the Twin Towers coming down, and the courage and fortitude of the FDNY and other first responders, confirmed to me how the best of humanity is often times presented when tragedy and chaos are most pronounced.
