Nancy Miller was a teacher for about forty years. She frequently made up stories throughout her instruction. She also listened when students came to her with their problems. After watching stories about mass shootings, she wondered who was there for the surviving children? Who was there to comfort them, and give them a shoulder to cry on? Who was there for the parents, who desperately looked for ways to help their child and themselves get through the loss? Nancy Miller wrote this book as one of many tools to start healing conversations.
