Principal Mark Kurtz loved his school. He worked hard to give his students every advantage in life, but he could have never predicted that on a warm day in May, a distraught senior would commit an unimaginable act of vengeance on his classmates.
In the aftermath of the shooting that left both students and faculty members dead, Mark must deal with his own guilt while trying to help those around him feel safe once again.
Mark’s problems are compounded when an old flame, Lane Warner, arrives in town to help treat the trauma victims. How can he possibly deal with his own guilt, be there for his seventeen-year-old son and confront the part of himself he’s always denied while trying to heal a broken community?

Review: This was a very powerful book about school shootings and the effects afterwards. From start to finish the story holds the reader in its grip as the story unfolds. I felt bad the shooter as it comes out he was bullied even though the school has a zero tolerance for that.
I didn’t understand why Mark held himself responsible for what happened considering he was dealing with life after a divorce and his son. I felt he shouldn’t have felt that way for the events. I really liked the whole story.
It’s riveting, powerful and emotional from the get go.
