On April 19, 1995, Oklahoma City was changed forever when the unforgivable act of one individual took the lives of 168 men, women, and children and injured hundreds more. Following the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building a fence was stretched around two city blocks to protect the site during the rescue and recovery efforts. If the Fence Could Talk shares what the fence became in the days, months, and years that followed for the rescue workers, family members, friends, and strangers who gathered at the site. From teddy bears and t-shirts to notes and flowers, for more than 20 years the fence has been a place where people come to remember. With a section remaining permanently, the fence remains a place of worship, solace, hope, and tears.

Review For nineteen years the fence has been the heart and the eyes to the emotional soul of those who left something attached to it. Now the fence finally has a voice and its message is powerful: WE WILL NEVER FORGET! -Cathy Keating First Lady of Oklahoma, 1995-2003 In the beginning, the fence was the barrier that protected those working so diligently. Next, it became a place of mourning and remembrance a place I left a piece of myself. Today it is part of our history and a place to remind us to never forget. -Dot Hill, Survivor The fence reminds us all of the price that terrorism exacts on all of us: those who were killed, those who survived, and those changed forever. It stands as a memorial to those lives lost and to the lives of their families and co-workers who survived and still carry them in our hearts. -Joanne Hutchison, Survivor For me, the fence represents a way for people to leave something of themselves as a way of saying Let me share in your grief. Let me shoulder some of the burden. I can t really explain how meaningful it has been to have someone put their own intense feelings aside to comfort us. -Deb Ferrell-Lynn, Family Member I remember the first time I was able to walk up to the fence and read the notes and see the mementos left by family or friends of the 168 precious lives that were lost or maybe just a stranger that was touched by the senseless act of terror. -Susan Walton, Survivor The fence has been part of the Oklahoma City bombing story for decades. A sentinel that first protected the grounds and today serves as a curator of the emotions of those who visit. Through this book, the fence now has a voice. -Linda Cavanaugh KFOR-TV Anchor/Reporter --First Lady of Oklahoma, Family & Survivors

A beautiful tribute to the people of Oklahoma City By Wendy B Lanski If the Fence could Talk describes the tragedy of 4/19/05, the day Oklahoma City endured the unimaginable bombing of the Murrah building, from the point of view of the fence around the memorial.
