In the past decade, 15,000 children have been killed from gunfire, though that number does not account for the kids who weren't shot and aren't considered victims but have nevertheless been irreparably harmed by gun violence. In [this book], [the author] investigates the effectiveness of gun safety reforms as well as efforts to manage children's trauma in the wake of neighborhood shootings and campus massacres, from Columbine to Marjory Stoneman Douglas. Through deep reporting, [he] addresses how we can effect change now, and help [the] children. In a moment when the country is desperate to better understand and address gun violence, [this book] offers a way to do just that, weaving . . . personal stories into a . . . call for the United States to embrace practical reforms that would save thousands of young lives"--Provided by publisher.
