Lurlene McDaniel packs an emotional punch in her young adult
novel, Red Heart Tattoo, which begins with a random act of
violence at a high school and explores the resulting
devastation and loss, as well as the ultimate healing that
takes place. At 7:45 a.m. on the day before Thanksgiving break, a bomb
goes off at Edison High. Nine people die instantly. Fifteen
are critically injured. Twenty-two suffer less severe
injuries. And one is blinded. Those who survive, struggle to
cope with the loss and destruction. All must find new
meaning for their lives as a result of something they may
never understand. Lurlene McDaniel's signature expertise and finesse in
dealing with issues of violence, death, and physical as well
as emotional trauma in the lives of teens is immediate and
heartrending.
