The rising : murder, heartbreak, and the power of human resilience in an American town / Ryan D'Agostino. by D'Agostino, Ryan. Crown Publishers, [2015] Call #: 364.1523 D127r Subjects Petit, William Arthur.   Petit family.   Home invasion -- Connecticut -- Cheshire -- Case studies.   Murder -- Connecticut -- Cheshire -- Case studies.   Victims of violent crimes -- Connecticut -- Cheshire -- Biography.   Grief.   Loss (Psychology). ISBN:  9780804140164 (hc.) 0804140162 (hc.) Edition:  First edition. Description:  275 pages : illustrations ; 25 cm. Summary:  On July 23, 2007, Dr. William Petit suffered an unimaginable horror: Armed strangers broke into his suburban Connecticut home in the middle of the night, bludgeoned him nearly to death, tortured and killed his wife Jennifer and two daughters Michaela, 11, and Hayley, 17, and set their house on fire. He miraculously survived, and yet living through those horrific hours was only the beginning of his ordeal. Broken and defeated, Bill was forced to confront a question of ultimate consequence: How does a person find the strength to start over and live again after confronting the darkest of nightmares? Journalist Ryan D’Agostino takes us into Bill Petit's world, to give us a startling, inspiring portrait of human strength and endurance. Bill's all-American upbringing, the story of not just a man's life, but of a community's power to shape that life through its embrace of loyalty and self-sacrifice as its most important values. The desperate times in the aftermath of the attack and the harrowing trials of the two perpetrators, Joshua Komisarjevsky and Steven Hayes -- The Rising offers hope that we can find a way back to ourselves, even when all seems lost. We are greater than what befalls us, and that if we know where to look for strength in trying times, we will always find it. Bill's story is by turns compelling and uplifting, an affirmation of the inexhaustible power of the human spirit. Genre:  True crime.
