Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Sixteen year-old William Jenkins was on his second day of work when he was shot and killed during a robbery attempt. His father, Bill Jenkins, a professor of Speech and Drama at Virginia Union University, quickly found that there were virtually no resources which could answer his many questions as a survivor of a traumatic loss.

He began looking for help and direction and found it, after a fashion, scattered in the bookstores, on the Internet, and in support groups and agencies; but nowhere was there a single, concise, practical, and eminently useful resource for bereaved families containing the advice and guidance that he and his family needed following their loss.

Several months later, using the information he had collected for his own personal well-being, this experienced teacher and speaker sat down to write the book that he should have receive the night he was notified of his son's death.
