Good book about the short life of Cassie Bernall, who was killed in the Columbine tragedy. I liked that her mother brought out the bad teenage years when Cassie was very rebellious and she wrote about how hard it was. Then Cassie is saved through her youth group and through some friends that almost look as rough as the ones she was in trouble with. She loved the Lord and was killed because she said yes, she believed in God. I hope others can learn from this honest account of Cassie Bernall's life. (

A heartbreaking story; very well told by the victim's mother. I remember reading this book for the first time as a freshman in high school. I had a distasteful view of religion, especially Christianity, at the time, but this book helped me to see past my own presumptions and reached me and touched my heart despite the walls I put up.
I recommend this short book not only as a voice from Columbine, but as a voice that will encourage followers of Christ today. (

Written by Cassie's mother Misty, we meet a young teen girl, vibrant, friendly popular, and like many other highschoolers, battling with their parents. Cassie was by no means perfect, but she proved herself to be a true heroine, willing to put her life on the line for what she believed. (

Epigraph

Dedication

To my daughter Cassie, the little girl who brought joy to my heart, and the brave young woman whose life has touched an entire nation;

To the twelve others who perished with her at the hands of two troubled classmates at Columbine High on April 20, 1999: Steven Curnow, Corey DePooter, Kelly Fleming, Matthew Kechter, Daniel Mauser, Daniel Rohrbough, David Sanders, Rachel Scott, Isaiah Shoels, John Tomlin, Lauren Townsend and Kyle Velasquez;

To the countless others who suffered physical and emotional injury on that day and are still haunted by the trauma;

And finally, to my husband, Brad, and our son, Chris, who I cherish more than ever before.

First words

April 20, 1999 forever changed me and my life.
