  One of the most gripping stories to come out of the shooting at Columbine High School is told in the acclaimed national bestseller that illuminates the most remarkable aspect of 17-year-old Cassie Bernall's tragic death: her life. She Said Yes is an intense and fascinating memoir (Publishers Weekly) of an ordinary teenager growing up in suburban Colorado, and faced -- as all teenagers are -- with difficult choices and pressures. It is only now, when the world knows Cassie Bernall as one of the Columbine High students killed by two rampaging schoolmates, that the choices she made offer a profound relevance for us all. Once a rage-filled young woman who walked a path similar to that of her killers, Cassie found a way out of her personal snares and, through her faith and a family's love, chose to embrace life with courage and conviction. Told with unflinching honesty by her mother, Misty Bernall, Cassie's story is a profoundly human story that should be read by every parent and every teenager (New York Post).
