She Said Yes by Misty Bernall
In a perverse celebration of Hitler's birthday, two heavily armed students stormed through a Colorado school on April 20, 1999, killing as many people as they could. Confronting 17-year-old Cassie Bernall, they put a gun to her head and asked: "Do you believe in God?" She said "Yes". The killer laughed and pulled the trigger. Around the world, people hailed Cassie as a modern martyr, but a far more remarkable story has been left untold. Three years earlier, Cassie herself planned to murder a teacher and threatened suicide. In "She Said Yes", Cassie's mother breaks her silence to recount the dramatic transformation that led up to her daughter's final heroic stand.
The Mirror Misty Bernall has written a remarkably candid book about her daughter's life and deathTimes Educational Supplement She Said Yes contains its share of bleakness and brutality... Most importantly, it is a story of an ordinary family struggling with tragedy and grief. The Guardian The power of the Cassie Bernall story comes from the fact that she herself had dabbled in witchcraft, drugs, and violent fantasies, only to reject them. The Sunday Telegraph One of the year's publishing sensations. The Independent If you don't yet know who Cassie Bernall is, you soon will. Her death is made more poignant - and her martyrdom more manifest- by her troubled teenage years. While there were other professed Christians among the dead at Littleton, none had a record of innocence, sin and redemption to approach Cassie's... many people have found hope in the idea that Cassie lives on through her example. Reuters A chilling account of a painful voyage.
