The answer: 9/11.

Over a decade before, that day forever changed the lives of two Midwest college students, Carrie Station and Jeff Hanford. When Carrie meets Jeff in history class, she nicknames him Rockhead. For the next two years, they trade sarcasm about history, politics, and even each other’s love interests.

But as they watch the horror of 9/11 unfold in a college union, they know their worlds will change. In the next months, they find out how far it takes them into different worlds…together or with others.

Carrie and Jeff represent the unknown and dedicated people who serve and make sacrifices in this continually changing world.

These are the hidden heroes we should know more about.
