Mr. Parker takes an unimaginable experience and delivers a highly relatable story, equal parts tribute to his daughter and crash course on the importance of standing up to societal bullies. This book is a valuable insight into the damage that weaponized lying for profit does to real people.

Robbie Parker courageously opens his soul to us in this emotional memoir related to the death of his daughter Emilie in the Sandy Hook Elementary School mass shooting....This is a story about a father, unsure of himself at first, who fought back against a monstrous conspiracy theorist to honor the memory of his daughter. At times, I felt heartbroken while reading the book. Other times, I felt infuriated by a huckster's systematic harming of Robbie and the other Sandy Hook families so he could line his pockets with money from his cult followers....But more than anything, I felt proud that Robbie Parker had dug deep inside himself to justifiably take on an evil man.
