Summary

"Go to the water."

That voice led him through the Staten Island Ferry, across the Goethals Bridge, through fear, confusion, and shock — and ultimately back home to his wife and children.

More than a 9/11 survival story, this powerful memoir reveals:

  • The emotional reality of surviving the World Trade Center attacks
  • The long-term trauma and PTSD that followed
  • The spiritual strength that carried him through
  • The journey from survival to healing and purpose

Twenty-five years later, Chef Ronnell Simmons shares his testimony publicly for the first time — honoring those who lost their lives while inspiring others to listen to faith, cherish family, and never take life for granted.

GO TO THE WATER is a story of survival, faith, resilience, and purpose after tragedy.
