She said Yes….The Unlikely Martyrdom Of Cassie Bernall is quite a book. It is not a huge long-winded book…but, the searching and yearning of a mother’s heart as she seeks to “know” more about her daughter, after her death in the Columbine shooting is quite inspiring.
Cassie Bernall is probably most remembered for her last spoken word. That word was a simple, Yes. It was in answer to the question, “Do you believe in God?” There is so much more to who Cassie was; and, how she came to be the person she was…and this mother’s quest to understand the journey Cassie was on, is very enlightening. It has alot to teach both parents and children.
From a typical teenager’s angst…to a world of occult, peer pressure, self- image struggles, drugs, cutting, and anger….the struggles that Cassie endured attest to the power of a parent’s love and intervention when it comes to fighting for a positive relationship with your child in the face of all that the world throws between parents/children. This is a must read!
