How do ordinary people cope after a loved one is killed due to gun violence? It's a question that more than 30,000 families must face every year in America. In this gripping book, survivors, friends, and family members discuss their lives from the moment their worlds were turned upside down by guns. In their own words, they discuss the anguish, fear, confusion, and grief they were plunged into as a result of a pulled trigger. Along the way, author Heidi Yewman finds some common traits and some astonishing illustrations of how grief plays out for different people in tragically similar circumstances.

A Beautiful, Moving Book,
By
This review is from: Beyond the Bullet: Personal Stories of Gun violence Aftermath (Paperback)
This book had a profound effect on me. It's easy to get caught up in the vitriol of the gun control issue, the political debates, and to focus on being "right."
That stuff is not important. What is important, ultimately, is people like the ones Heidi Yewman interviewed in her book. It touched me deeply and really helped ground me. It also made me more determined than ever to work to reduce gun violence in our society. Thanks to Ms. Yewman for writing this - what a tremendous service she did for the individuals in her book and all gun violence victims in this country.

This review is from: Beyond the Bullet: Personal Stories of Gun violence Aftermath (Paperback)
This is an outstanding, overdue book that sheds much light on our national tragedy of gun violence..almost 100,000 American are killed or injured by firearms each and every year and the issue remains ignored by our political leaders who remain intimidated by the gun rights extremists. Ms. Yewman's book details that victims are not statistics ..that in each case the pain and suffering extends beyond the victims to grieved family members and loved ones. The book details the extent of the pain over time and how lives are changed forever due to senseless and preventable acts of violence..a must reading for all who care about the future fabric of our country.
