Christina Ray Stanton's first book,
Out of the Shadow of 9/11: An Inspiring Tale of Escape and Transformation, debuted in 2019 and won several awards. Her 9/11
articles have appeared in over 50 national and international publications, including The Saturday Evening Post, New York Daily News, and in countries such as Bangladesh, South Africa, and Brazil. A licensed New York City tour guide since 1995, Christina toured thousands of tourists through the original World Trade Center complex and up to its observatory, and now she specializes in tours of the 9/11 memorial—she is one of only a handful of currently active guides who have toured the complex both pre- and post-9/11. She
speaks about 9/11 regularly and has spoken in front of live audiences from Tokyo to Madagascar. She's been a guest in over 50
podcasts speaking on the subject. Her husband, Brian, is the coordinator of a scholarship at Clemson University that raises funds in the name of a fraternity brother who died in the North Tower. Together, in 2016, they founded
Loving All Nations, an organization that helps the poor and vulnerable internationally. The couple still resides within blocks of the World Trade Center site.
