Kaitlin Roig-Debellis is the first-grade teacher at Sandy
Hook Elementary School who saved her entire class of fifteen
six- and-seven-year-olds from the tragic events that took
place on December 14, 2012, by piling them into a
single-occupancy bathroom within her classroom, mere feet
from the brutal and indiscriminate massacre taking place
outside the door. Since then, despite the unimaginably
painful experiences she endured, she has chosen to share her
experience with others, in the hope that they too can find
light in dark moments. Choosing Hope is a lot of things. A written witness to a
tragedy that will never be forgotten. A gripping firsthand
testament to the power of good over the power of
destruction. An inspirational memoir by a brave young woman
whose story is one of courage, heroism, faith, and
resilience. And a celebration of all the people who make the
choice to pass along their hope and positivity to young
ones—parents, mentors, and especially teachers. There is no
moving on, but there is always moving forward. And how we
move forward is a choice.
