    A truthful and astonishingly uplifting monologue from a teenager struggling with grief and traumatic memories. I'd particularly love to see this monologue performed for political leaders who continue to do nothing despite rapidly escalating numbers of school shootings. A very timely and very urgent play.

    A powerful piece for a courageous young actress. This unflinching monologue will challenge a young actress to dig into the depth of her emotional honesty while speaking an important truth. What I love most about this monologue is how it focuses on compassion and empathy for everyone involved in situations like this--and there could not be anything more beautiful to teach children. Robert writes with a tenderness and a care for young people that will immediately endear this piece to any student. Audiences will ache, but they will understand--because who can deny love?

In a world "ruled by violence," a girl grasps for answers like fingers in the dark, trying desperately to make sense of a recent school shooting. Vivid. Poignant. Shocking. A must read.
