It’s the end of summer, 2001. Erin O’Connor has everything she’s ever dreamed of: good friends, a high-powered career at a boutique Manhattan firm, and a husband she adores. They have plans for their life together: careers, children, and maybe even a house in the country. But life has other plans. Daniel is a trader who works on the 101st floor of the World Trade Center.

 Erin is drinking margaritas on a beach in Mallorca, helping her best friend get over a breakup, when she hears a plane has

crashed into Daniel’s building. On a television at the smoky hotel bar, she watches his building collapse. She makes her way home with the help of a stranger named Alec, and once there, she haunts Ground Zero, nearby hospitals, and trauma centers, plastering walls and fences with missing-person flyers. But there’s no trace of Daniel. 

After accepting Daniel’s death, Erin struggles to get her life back on track but makes a series of bad decisions and begins to live her life in a self-destructive fog of booze and pills. It’s not until she hits rock bottom that she realizes it’s up to her to decide: Was her destiny sealed with Daniel’s? Or is there life after happily ever after?

PRAISE FOR

Paper Airplanes

“With depth and empathy, Tabitha Forney navigates the emo- tional wreckage left by tragedy, exploring questions of fate, self-destruction, and ultimately hope. Paper Airplanes is a lovely and moving novel.”

—MARK HABER, author of Reinhardt’s Garden

“This haunting novel captivated me from the beginning. Forney pulled me in with her gorgeous prose and a heroine who made my heart ache. I rarely cry when I read, but Paper Airplanes had me sobbing. This is the kind of book that comes around only once in a lifetime.”

—LAURA HEFFERNAN, internationally best-selling author of Finding Tranquility and Anna’s Guide to Getting Even

“As the Twin Towers fall on September 11th, Erin struggles through a world she neither recognizes nor understands. She begins a journey to find her missing husband and comes to re- alize that she has lost not only him but also herself. This is a compelling story of destruction and death and the slow process of self-discovery and redemption. It is a beautifully written debut novel that has the courage to face the worst nightmare imaginable: the loss of a great love.”
