She Said Yes: The Unlikely Martyrdom of Cassie Bernall
Author: Misty Bernall
Desc: 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.
