| Summary |
On a Monday in August of 1966, a student and former marine named Charles Whitman hauled a footlocker of guns to the top of the University of Texas tower and began firing on pedestrians below, the first mass shooting of civilians on a campus in American history. Shelly left her math class and walked directly into the path of the bullets; two cousins, Wyatt and Jack, rushed from their classrooms to help the victims. A relationship begins that will eventually entangle these three young people in a forbidden love affair, an illicit pregnancy, and a vow of secrecy that will span forty years. |
