When Daniel Hernandez heard gunshots that fateful day, he ran toward them, ultimately saving lives. This moving memoir tells the story of how Daniel became the quick-thinking, courageous and generous young man who would become a national hero." -- Nancy Pelosi"I met Daniel Hernandez and came away feeling invigorated about America 's future. We all watched Daniel in an incredible moment of heroism. Now, he's made a life of service and whether he stays in local politics or hits the national stage, he will inspire America for a long time." -- Erin Burnett, anchor of CNN's Erin Burnett OutFront"Daniel Hernandez is a true American hero. I have had the pleasure of meeting him, and it reminded me why I love this country: Only in America can a young boy whose mother was an immigrant land an internship with his Congresswoman and in the most terrifying moment of his life run towards the bullets to save her life. He handled his newfound fame with grace and dignity and continues to inspire people across the country." -- Piers Morgan, host of CNN's Piers Morgan Tonight"This account.hits all the right notes. Throughout, [Daniel Hernandez] comes across as self-assured but not full of himself, conscious of but not obsessed with his image and his status as a multiple role model, opinionated but not angry or preachy. An absorbing eyewitness view of a shocking event wrapped in a fluent, engaging self-portrait." ? Kirkus Reviews"[This] tense, moment-by-moment recounting of the shooting spree is gripping.Throughout, Hernandez strikes a tone that is humble, earnest, and impassioned, and his story is inspiring not only for his bravery during the shooting, but also for his commitment to education advocacy and public service." ?
