Scars from the Tornado available at Amazon.com

My new book, Scars from the Tornado: One Year at Joplin East Middle School is now available at Amazon.com.

The book takes Joplin East Middle School students and staff from the May 22, 2011, tornado through the final day of the 2011-2012 school year, detailing students' tornado stories and the struggle for students and staff at East to turn a warehouse into a school after our building was destroyed.

I will post a detailed summary of what is included in the book later tonight, as well as a chapter from the book. It includes stories written by current Joplin High School freshmen, East Middle School eighth graders and one seventh grader, as well as a foreword by JHS sophomore Rylee Hartwell.

The book can be purchased at the link above or from the advertisement in the upper right hand side of this page.
