Summary:
On October 2, 2006, Charles Carl Roberts entered an Amish one-room schoolhouse in the Amish community of Nickel Mines, Lancaster County, in Pennsylvania, took hostages and eventually shot ten girls, aged 6 to 13, killing five, before committing suicide. This is a memoir from Terri Roberts, the mother of the killer. Not only did she lose her son, but she also lost her understanding of him as an honorable man. Her community and the world experienced trauma that no family or community should ever have to face. But this is, surprisingly, a story of hope and joy -- of God revealing his grace in unexpected places. Today Terri lives in harmony with the Amish and has built lasting relationships that go beyond what anyone could have thought possible. From the grace that the Amish showed Terri's family from day one, to the visits and ongoing care Terri has given to the victims and their families, no one could have foreseen the love and community that have been forged from the fires of tragedy. The wonder of forgiveness and the power of God to bring beauty from ashes.
