Review
"One of the most beautifully written, moving nonfiction books published in the past five years." -- Deidre Donahue, "USA Today,"
"Remarkable, astonishing... "Shot in the Heart" reads like a combination of "Brothers Karamazov" and a series of Johnny Cash ballads... chilling, heartbreaking, and alarming." -- Michiko Kakutani, "The New York Times,"
"Mesmerizing... riveting and immensely moving... "Shot in the Heart" is a gesture of sustained courage that just happens to be a page-turner." -- Daphne Merkin, "The New Yorker,"

"From the Trade Paperback edition."
