Author Neil Adams’s New Book, “From the Pile: A 9-11 First Responder's Story,” Follows One Man’s Journey from a Troubled Life to Risking His Life After the 9/11 Attacks

San Francisco, CA, September 29, 2025 --(PR.com)-- Neil Adams has completed his new book, “From the Pile: A 9-11 First Responder's Story”: a poignant and heartfelt account that chronicles the life of Michael, a New York first responder who risked his life to save others during the 9/11 attacks on New York City that ultimately led to life threatening complications years later.

“Michael seemed like a typical New Yorker and in a lot of ways he was,” writes Adams. “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.

“He lived a shortened but colorful life. And he had a message to impart in his hope more lives can still be saved. This is his story.”

Published by Newman Springs Publishing, Neil Adams’s enlightening memoir is a compelling tribute to not only Michael, but all those who lost their lives during the initial attack during 9/11, as well as those who suffered from medical issues years later.
