by Wally Lamb, 2008, HarperCollins Books, New York

This is a book about a married couple who were employed as a teacher and a school nurse at Columbine High School when the massacre occurred.  It focuses on the trauma it caused and their attempts to return to a normal existence after the event.

I enjoyed reading the book but thought that Lamb meandered into the main character’s family history a bit too much.  I had a hard time tying all that history into the current situation.  The book could have been a bit shorter and it could have been more compelling.
