Finding connection after violence

A young survivor’s struggle after “The Horrible Day” is the starting point for a story about grief, fear, and the difficulty of being understood. The loss of her friend Wes leaves her with questions that comforting adults cannot answer from experience. The book turns toward solidarity among people who have lived through their own traumatic events, presenting shared voices and mutual support as part of moving forward. Gun violence is addressed through a child’s perspective, with the emphasis on its lasting effects and the possibility of finding community afterward.

Book overview

Moving forward after a traumatic event isn't easy, but finding community can help.

After living through The Horrible Day, a young girl struggles to get the fear off her skin. Why is she still here when her friend Wes isn't? Adults try to comfort her, but they don't understand; they weren't there. Other people have survived their own Horrible Days, though, and by joining together to speak up, they can give each other the strength they all need to move on. In this book, author Hallee Adelman looks at one of the toughest subjects of our time through the eyes of a young person whose life has been forever changed by gun violence.
