John Watson, a crime reporter in Florida, feeling threatened by a potential "stand your ground” trial, moves to Denver with his wife, Diana. But they continue to be confronted with episodes of random gun violence in Colorado.

Unable to have their own children, they adopt a nine year old boy and a nine year old girl. Their daughter, Trish, likes playing soccer and does very well in school. Their son, Brian, is bullied in school and grows up to become a disturbed young man with an uncommon fondness for guns.

This important new book offers a reflection on gun violence in America today and shows the impact it can have on a family.

Midwest Book Review calls this new novel is "a chilling but inherently fascinating read!"
