Summary
Details

In January 2013, Regina's fifteen-year-old nephew shot and killed his father (her brother), mother and three siblings. She became her nephew's guardian and stood by him through seven years of legal drama. In this memoir, she recounts her extremely difficult and personal story that affected her large extended family and entire community. It is a tragedy about generational trauma set in the rich cultural background of New Mexico. This is a story of courage and conviction as well as love, compassion, and hope. The book details the failure of not only the Juvenile Justice System, but many other systems that undergird families and society including gun safety. This memoir is both a warning and a call to action for families, communities, and our nation.
