About the
Book
With a single word, Cassie Bernall’s courage in the face of
death gripped the heart of an entire nation. The media, fascinated by Cassie’s story,
have called her a martyr and reported a nationwide spiritual revival among teens asking
themselves what they would say.
In She Said Yes: The Unlikely Martyrdom of Cassie Bernall, Cassie's
mother Misty Bernall tells the story of the years leading up to that decisive moment of
the massacre. With unflinching candor she describes how her daughter had, at one point,
started down a troubled path similar to that of her killers, Eric Harris and Dylan
Klebold. It's a story of growing up in the ‘90s; of peer pressure, adolescent
turmoil, and the role parents play; a story of tough choices and the battle between good
and evil in every person. But in the end, it's a story of redemption more enduring
than the tragedy that cut Cassie Bernall's life short.
In memory of their daughter—and in the hope that the
violence that robbed her of her life might one day be turned into
good—the Bernalls will give a portion of the proceeds from
the sale of this book to a charitable foundation established in
her name.
