The Day the World Came to Town: 9/11 in Gander, Newfoundland by Jim DeFede is a non-fiction book that chronicles the story of Gander, Newfoundland, a small Canadian town that welcomed nearly 7,000 stranded airline passengers after the 9/11 attacks. The book details the extraordinary kindness of the town’s residents, who provided food, shelter, and comfort to the “plane people” for nearly a week, creating lasting bonds and inspiring the Broadway musical Come from Away.
