Goodreads Synopsis:
True Story of Courage and Compassion in a School Under Siege
As 870 children waited in fear, their elementary school rushed into lockdown mode. As the nation faced yet another Sandy Hook story of tragedy, one woman rewrote the ending.
Yet the story doesn’t start with those first steps Michael Hill took into that Atlanta elementary school. It starts with Antoinette Tuff, a woman who faced her own pain, hurt, and rejection, yet held onto grace, faith, and hope. A hope that anchored her in the most high stakes of moments, a grace that allowed her to empathize with a hurting young man, and a faith that gave her the courage to love him back from the brink.
This is more than just the amazing account of tragedy averted. It’s the evidence of what we can do when we allow ourselves to be used by God. And it’s a story of how God uses “all “of our life experiences–the good and the bad–to prepare us for our own moment of divine purpose.
My Review:
I love reading inspiring non fiction books and this one was no disappointment! Antoinette Tuff’s story about her life and the shooting is inspiring none the less. I could not put this book down! I can’t even imagine what it must have been like for her to be in a situation like she was and not panic! I believe that God was with her throughout the whole situation! I give this book a 5 out of 5 stars.
I received this book in exchange for my honest review from Bethany House.
