No amount of worry could have prepared her for September 11th.
You remember where you were that morning. The images seared into memory, the silence that followed, the questions that never got answered. But for Mary Farino-Thomas, September 11th, 2001, was not a moment captured on television. It was the day her husband, Tom, the captain of Engine Company 26, walked into the towers and never came home. For over two decades, Mary carried the weight of unanswered questions: Where was Tom that day? What was Engine 26 doing? Why was it so impossibly difficult to find out?
Engine 26 is the memoir Mary always needed to write and was terrified to begin. Co-authored with her cousin, Robert Trotta, this deeply personal account traces the life Mary and Tom built together, from two kids growing up blocks apart in South Ozone Park, Queens, through Tom's journey from the NYPD to the FDNY, and into the unimaginable aftermath that followed. It is a story about love that endures beyond loss, a widow's relentless search for truth, and the courage it takes to set the record straight when others have spoken for the silent.
Inside these pages, you will find:
• A firsthand account of life before, during, and after 9/11 from the perspective of a firefighter's wife
• The untold story of Engine Company 26 and the search for answers that spanned more than two decades
• A testament to resilience, family, and the healing power of finally telling your own story

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
