The Hour I First Believed
By Wally Lamb
The Hour I First Believed by Wally Lamb may very well be the saddest book ever. The story spans several hundreds of years and several generations. There's times where you will hate each character and love each character, but by the end you wish them all better than what they've got.
The story begins at Columbine highschool just before the deadly shootings. It explores how a couple involved copes with the tragedy and the effects of chronic PTSD. While Columbine may be where the story starts, it continues to explore hundreds of years of family legacy and betrayal.
The Hour I First Believed is a heartwrenching story that can't be summarized in a few paragraphs. It will make you laugh, cry, and most importantly, believe.
