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.

Tells the stories of people's lives that have been involved with gun violence. Also their experience on how to deal with it after they have been affected.

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.
