December 14, 2012, 20 children and 6 educators were killed during a school shooting in Sandy Hook, Connecticut. The lives of so many beautiful children cut short and the hands of a murdered (I refuse to name the killer),Mathew Lysiak unlike many other books about school shooting focuses on the children and not the killer. That is not say that he doesn't discuss him because he does but his main focus is on the lives of these precious children that were loss. You get to know them on a personal level and they become more than just a picture.
The subject matter is treated with kindness and compassion. The accounts of that tragic day are horrific and Lysiak treats it with respect while educating the reader on what happened.
The read is powerful and heartbreaking, It also cleared up a lot of details for me that I had believe facts based on misinformation the media had put out that day and in the following days.
Expect to become emotionally involved and shed some tears.
