Helpful Score: 11

This a very short book and a quick read. I expected to cry and feel very sad while reading it. My reaction was quite the opposite.

Written by her mother, this book describes the too-short life of Cassie Bernall. Her mother wrote very honestly and openly about her feelings of not only sadness and hurt, but also her feelings of anger and "why MY daugher?". She also did not sugarcoat a very rough period in her daughter's life when Cassie became a VERY rebellious teen (and thats putting it mildly).

Through the sadness and pain of losing a child, this book is very uplifting and reminds you of what is important in life, how to forgive, and will make you rethink your priorities. This book was about a life that was cut all too short, about a mother's love for her daughter, and her continuing struggle try to make sense of that horrible day at Columbine.
