About this listen
Roger Stringer grew up in rural Mississippi, hunting and eating everything from deer to rabbits. When he had two sons, Zac and Justin, he gave them guns and took them to the woods as well. Then one day when the boys were home alone, he got a call from Zac that Justin had been shot.
What follows is an intimate and gripping memoir about the shooting’s aftermath. The story moves between the perspectives of Roger and Zac as they take us through their journey of betrayal, redemption, and ultimately confrontation with a company that had kept its corruption a secret for decades.

Story
Welcome to the summer of 1985 in Philadelphia, when the city was rocked—in almost every sense of the word—by two unprecedented events: Mayor W. Wilson Goode’s May 13 decision to bomb the headquarters of MOVE, a controversial Philadelphia-based radical communal organization, and the July 13 Live Aid concert, where international rock royalty convened in Philly to raise money for victims of the Ethiopian famine. Separated by just two months and eight miles, these events would showcase both the best and the worst of the so-called City of Brotherly Love.

Meet our heroine, Mo. She’s every dyke’s dream—or so she’s been told by her kind and supportive friends. She’s shy but passionate, politically aware, as committed to her egalitarian all-womyn’s softball team as she is to her volunteer work at the Gay and Lesbian Community Center. So why can’t she find a girlfriend? Could it possibly be because she’s more judgmental than Gertrude Stein and more self-sabotaging than Bojack Horseman?

He spent his first three years on Death Row at Holman State Prison in despairing silence.

It took me a lifetime to have the courage and the clarity to write my memoir. I want to tell the story of the moments - the ups and downs, the triumphs and traumas, the debacles and the dreams - that contributed to the person I am today. This book is composed of my memories, my mishaps, my struggles, my survival, and my songs. Unfiltered. I went deep into my childhood and gave the scared little girl inside of me a big voice. I let the abandoned and ambitious adolescent have her say, and the betrayed and triumphant woman I became tell her side.

The Journey for Truth
Said in a simple, beautiful and concise way this is a true story that will touch even the most frosty heart. It is a story we all need to hear. A story each of us will find a part to relate to, a part of ourselves that responds to the pain that this tale relates. It is also a caution. I don't want to elaborate anymore because that would end up spoiling the story line. The feelings produced should not be reduced by my review. So, I'm going to ask...something, I've never asked with regards to a book or a story and I'm going to request that you hear this one out.

Shocked at how good this was
I do not like guns and have always felt like they should be banned. However listening to this riviting story so many of my pre consived bias were eradicated. I’m a city mouse- but learned so much about genuine compassion and forgiveness from these two. I literally could not stop listening as I listened to their plight and was humbled in a way that’s hard to put into words about my own bias and prejudices. This is an amazing story for anyone - they are relatable and really put themselves out there in a way that surprised me. I went in knowing nothing about their story and am glad I took the leap! Brilliantly done and heartfelt story that kept me on the edge of my car seat ( where I listen to audible)

Heartbreaking and Enlightening
Terrible things happen to people who have no ill intent. I think the lesson here is what do you do in response to tragedy when it shows up in your life.
Bravo Zach & Roger. Carry on and live well.

Big Bang for Your Buck (no pun intended 🤭)!
For such a short read, there’s a lot to unpack. The obvious story is the heartbreaking & preventable death of a child at the hands of his sibling. However, it gives one pause to think on how you feel about guns, legislation, accountability (especially for those with deep pockets), judging, the importance of our time spent with family & loved ones, and how to take the good from tragedy while allowing it to make us better people. Except whatever happened to the mother? She sort of vaporized despite reportedly always believing her son.
