When high school teacher Caelum Quirk and his wife, Maureen, move to Littleton, Colorado, they both get jobs at Columbine High School. In April 1999, while Caelum is away, Maureen finds herself in the library at Columbine, cowering in a cabinet and expecting to be killed. Miraculously, she survives. But when Caelum and Maureen flee to an illusion of safety on the Quirk family's Connecticut farm, they discover that the effects of chaos are not easily put right. While Maureen fights to regain her sanity, Caelum discovers five generations' worth of diaries, letters, and newspaper clippings in his family's house. As unimaginable secrets emerge, Caelum grapples with the past and struggles to fashion a future from the ashes of tragedy.
To Read excerpts from the book Hit yer Mouse HERE
I have been reading Wally Lamb's books for several years now, although he hasn't had many, His words are gripping and the scenario's he places his characters in keeps you on the edge of your seat. A good example of Wally Lamb is placing previous characters from his previous books into his current book. Dominick Birdsey - a main character in "I know This Much is True" is High School friends with Caelum Quirk in the latest novel, "The Hour I first Believed"
I loved the way he brings people to life - and then back to life once more...
