True Story of Courage and Compassion in a School Under Siege As 870 children waited in fear, their elementary school rushed into lockdown mode. As the nation faced yet another Sandy Hook story of tragedy, one woman rewrote the ending. Yet the story doesn't start with those first steps Michael Hill took into that Atlanta elementary school. It starts with Antoinette Tuff, a woman who faced her own pain, hurt, and rejection, yet held onto grace, faith, and hope. A hope that anchored her in the most high stakes of moments, a grace that allowed her to empathize with a hurting young man, and a faith that gave her the courage to love him back from the brink. This is more than just the amazing account of tragedy averted. It's the evidence of what we can do when we allow ourselves to be used by God. And it's a story of how God uses all of our life experiences--the good and the bad--to prepare us for our own moment of divine purpose.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“An amazing illustration of calm and brinkmanship.” The Guardian (London)
“We should use her example to teach our children’s leaders…and all of our children—the value of compassion and the power of empathy." Washington Post
"The fascination at the heart of Tuff’s tale, the reason it’s riveting, is the way she used compassion and empathy to disarm a mentally ill man intent on killing." Salon

Author Bio: Antoinette Tuff

Antoinette Tuff is a true picture of grace, courage, and heroism at its best. But before she made headlines and talked a school shooter back from the brink, she was a woman who faced—and overcame—her own pain and hurt. Publicly recognized by President Obama for her courageous act that saved a school from tragedy, today she speaks around the world, spreading hope and sharing her inspiring message of how our lives prepare us for our own moments of purpose. She has two children and resides in Atlanta, Georgia.
