Missy Jenkins gets right to the heart of the matter...her life after being shot on December 1, 1997.

School shootings are occurring with more frequency rather than less as time goes by. But in 1997, Columbine hadn't happened yet. Virginia Tech hadn't happened yet. The only significant school shooting was at Pearl High School on October 1, 1997. Only two months after that date, Heath High School would be in the media forefront.

Thank you to Missy for sharing her story about her experience that tragic day our sophomore year at Heath High School....and her challenges and triumphs after becoming wheelchair-bound. She is truly an AMAZING human being. I recommend this book to everyone!

The narrative wanders a bit at times, but mostly a very interesting account of the school shootings in Paducah, Kentucky, and the inspirational story of how this survivor overcomes such tragedy.
