It began as a routine journalism school assignment, but it morphed into a bittersweet and often riveting book - an inside look at the bagpipe band of the New York City Fire Department, themed to 445 memorials, funerals and related ceremonies for firefighters after 9/11...

This is a story of unfathomable heroism and Sheridan deftly delivers it with both a journalist's hand and a great deal of heart.

The world should know this story, for the band has left a legacy of love that can never be surpassed.
