Solange's unique path led her from the glitz of movie sets to the profound reality of Ground Zero. This unexpected turn, in the wake of the 9/11 attacks while in New York, left an indelible mark. The emotional toll and tremendous sense of loss and sacrifice have stayed with her, inspiring her to write this compelling account.
Through "I'm Not Supposed to Know This," Solange hopes to contribute to the historical narrative of this pivotal time in American history. The book is an intimate reflection of her experiences and the enduring impact of those events, inviting readers to engage with a story of resilience, remembrance, and the human spirit.
25 years after witnessing the horrors of 9/11 as part of the cleanup crew at Ground Zero, Solange Schwalbe dives into the unexpected role she bravely played in the pit. Interwoven with her personal journey is the redemptive spirit of America itself—a nation wounded yet unbroken, learning how to stand again. Written with cinematic clarity and emotional restraint, this is not a story of spectacle but of resilience—personal and collective—and of what rises when everything familiar has fallen.
