Stop by Chapter 52 Bookstore to meet author Terri Schlack, who will be at the store from 3 pm to 5 pm.
Schlack is the author of the book, "Afterward: Murder of a Soldier."
About the book:
Afterward is the unique story of the Schlack family's life after their oldest son is murdered senselessly at Fort Hood, TX in 2009. The heartbreak of burying a son, the unforeseeable emotional and physical pain, the tensions of experiencing a military court and the disbelief and frustration when the sentence is handed down is difficult to deal with. The events and experiences after the killing is something never expected. Why their son was killed makes those who know the story see him as a hero.
