    About this ebook

    Many people analyze mass shooters, including psychiatrists, journalists, and law enforcement. Frequently, the shooter dies in the attempt. In this instance, the accused shooter lives to face the death penalty. Few people have analyzed the effect on the family of an accused shooter facing the death penalty. This prayer book is a unique look at the aftermath of a mass shooting from the perspective of the accuseds mother, as she prays her way through the pretrial court proceedings.
