and I'm a little surprised to see such an interpretation in here.

"There were no bodies" how about because the bodies were either incinerated or the devastation was so complete that there were no physical remains? She goes on to talk about how the families of the victims who were brought to the site had no bodies to view or bury, and thus no closure.

She saw shimmering lights. We all interpret what we see and hear based on our filters, and express our interpretations in the language we grew up with. She grew up in the Catholic church, so that colors her perception, but that does not invalidate her experience.

The many shimmering lights may have been angels, as she interpreted. Or maybe they were the victims themselves, or rather, their subtle bodies (i.e. their spirits) now detached from their destroyed physical bodies, and still themselves somewhat "in shock" and hanging out at the scene.

If this book had conveniently been released JIT the 10th anniversary of 9/11, I could see the possible commercial slant. But I see no reason not to take it as it is: one woman's experience that was given the opportunity to write and felt compelled to share.
