She Said Yes: The Unlikely Martyrdom of Cassie Bernall by Misty Bernall


She said yes, is a beautiful and heartfelt written novel. Misty does a great job of letting us into the family life before and after the Columbine tragedy. At times the honesty is a bit much to handle and it's easy to criticize the parenting techniques until you realize what they did worked for their family.

Cassie was among the many who were murdered on that fateful day in Columbine and while the book does not necessarily detail the events it gives those whom read it an insight into the life of a young woman who's life was cut short. It details the events of childhood, troubled youth and then finding God.

This book is NOT about her final moments it's about her life ...

Like many books written about loved one's and those unfamiliar with the unknown there are biases. As a society we need to stop blaming music, TV shows and put blame on the person's who took the actions... Enough said.

This book is worth the read and the e-book version can be shared. So ask a friend who has it to let you read it and if you're my friend and want to read it, email me!
