Misty Bernall
The Christian inspirational national bestseller that Publishers Weekly called “intense and fascinating” about the life of Cassie Bernall, a seventeen-year-old teenager who professed her belief in God before being fatally shot during the Columbine school shooting tragedy—written by her mother."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).

"I remember reading this story a long while ago for school. I was assigned to read a biography/ nonfiction story and I didn’t want to read a story about any celebrities/ athletes. I went searching through my library for the perfect story. I’m so glad I found this story. It had stuck in my mind for about 15+ years. It was so beautiful, heavy and so devastating.. but as I read it again as an adult.. there’s something enlightening about this.. this lovely young woman fought and struggled with her faith for a while, and when faced with the decision of lying to the killers or standing strong in her faith.. she chose the truth. To say, “this is my faith, and my beliefs. I don’t fear why comes next because God will protect me.” My heart hurts for this family and all those who lost their loved ones that day. Blessings to you and yours 🙏🏼 ❤️ "
