Episode 46-FROM THE PILE: A 9-11 First Responder's Story with Neil Adams.

Michael seemed like a typical New Yorker and in a lot of ways he was. He had a swagger and an accent that was unmistakable. That's what he wanted people to think about him. And he risked his life on 9/11 to come to the aid of his city. He was a hero-but that was not always the case throughout much of his life. Rescued from a life that was heading into crime and prostitution, Michael was reset on a road to become a responsible citizen. But not being a "typical New Yorker" would steer him on a painful course in his search for a happy life-a life that he deemed willing to sacrifice in his efforts to help save lives. What happened in the years after that day would eventually lead him to local notoriety and acclaim. James talks with Michael's friend and Author of the book: FROM THE PILE: A 9-11 First Responder's Story, Neil Adams. Out on Amazon.com
