Fiction
In Playing with Dirt, a woman who lost her husband on 9/11 deals with grief in the year after his death. He was not a victim of terrorism, but like so many in Manhattan, his body has not been found. In the following spring, she begins to discover bones in the huge yard of the sprawling farmhouse he had always wanted. Perhaps, she considers, if she can find them all and rebuild the skeleton, they will find his body too…
