Summary

Sutherland Springs was the last place anyone would have expected to be victimized by our modern-day scourge of mass shootings. By November 5, 2017, however, the day a former Air Force enlistee opened fire in the town's First Baptist Church, Sutherland Springs was a shadow of its former self. Twenty-six people died that Sunday morning, in the worst mass shooting in a place of worship in American history. Holley spent more than a year embedded in the community, getting to know a close-knit group of people--victims, heroes, and survivors. Holley shows how they work to come to terms with their loss and to rebuild shattered lives, marked by their deep faith in God and in guns
