Annabel Quintero will be the guest speaker at the Southwest Seattle Historical Society's Words Writers and Southwest Stories March 9.  Quintero’s book, “STEP, STEP, JUMP: Transforming Trauma to Triumph from the 46 Floor”, is an in-depth, first-person account of escaping the 46th floor of the Tower One of the World Trade Center on 9/11, but it is not only a story of that day.
This book is a fascinating examination of the American-Immigrant experience, a study of spirituality in a secular world, a look at divine intervention, and an exploration of empathy against the backdrop of the financial and societal forces that shape the globe. A rich source of inspiration for others who want to drive radical positive change in their own lives.
