Where We Live: Las Vegas Shooting Benefit Anthology

There's so much in compassed in this collection that there is no way to fully describe it. You have to read it for yourself to decide what you get out of it. I did appreciate the combination of eye-witness accounts and fictionalized "what-ifs." For me, it seems that no matter what people think about gun control, whether for or against it, nothing ever changes.Many of the stories in this collection excel at capturing the sense of hopelessness that most Americans feel when it comes to mass shootings- it's bound to happen where you live at some point and nothing will change once it does. Still, despite that, there is a sense of hope and strength depicted that also feels honest and true. Even if the government won't change, whether for good or for worse, people will rally together and support one another to rebuild communities and trust, in the wake of each tragedy.I suppose this is the new normal. Mass shooting, loss of life, survivor's guilt, no change in legislation, communities rebuilt, the cycle repeats.I'm glad I read this book and hope the money I spent really did support the victims.Highly recommended.

Everything between these covers is worth reading. A difficult subject handled beautifully. I have enormous respect for all who were involved in this project. Read it and talk about it.

I got this book because my family was at the shooting and my niece was one of the stories. It's worth it. The illustrations were amazing, the writing was amazing. This is definitely a must buy.

Pretty bad.

Love it. Just the right size for an overnight. A little tight for under the seat in the plane, but light enough to easily put it in the overhead. It will be well used!

It’s informative, creative, emotional, humane, layered and heartbreaking. If you’re a comic book reader, you will recognize a whole bunch of names delivering on the writing and art chores. There were plenty of unfamiliar names for me too, but that didn’t really matter because the talent involved in WHERE WE LIVE deliver a bunch of compelling short stories. Nothing preachy just thoughtful. The centerpieces of the book are the true stories from real people who experienced the shooting first hand.

Beautiful, painful, inspiring, and heart-wrenching. It a thoughtfully curated collection of art, stories, poems, and essays that together create a sense that we are all together in this. I learned, I cried and thankfully I smiled just a little at the human responses to these events that radiated with strength and kindness. It is a book that I truly wish had never needed to be written.
