On 11 September 2001, Australian Yvonne Kennedy boarded American
Airlines flight 77 to return to Australia after a US holiday. That
day has since been seared into our consciousness. Her flight was
hijacked and deliberately crashed into the Pentagon. All passengers
on board were killed. Yvonne's death left her family devastated. In
9/11 and the Art of Happiness her son, Simon Kennedy, a well -
known Australian comedian and broadcaster, recounts the distressing
and often at - times bizarre events that followed. Initially there
is confusion: Was his mother actually on the plane? The world of
officialdom then turns everything upside down and there is no space
to grieve: airline officials require endless information; FBI
agents pay home visits; and an invitation is received to meet
Barrack Obama at an official US memorial service. And there is
always the media wanting personal information. However, even ten
years after the event, Simon is reminded each day of the 9/11
attack. The aftermath of his mother's shocking death remains,
making it difficult to come to terms with his loss but even more
remarkable that he has found his way to forgiveness. 9/11 and the
Art of Happiness is an engrossing story of the life - changing
impact a global political event has on the individuals and their
families who are caught in the maelstrom.
