Renowned activist Andy Parker's account of the story that shocked
America, the murder of his daughter, reporter Alison Parker, on
live television, and his extraordinary ensuing fight
for commonsense gun safety legislation and
doing "Whatever It Takes" to end gun violence. On
August 26, 2015, Emmy Award–winning twenty-four-year-old reporter
Alison Parker was murdered on live television, along with her
colleague, photojournalist Adam Ward. Their interviewee was also
shot, but survived. People watching at home heard the gunshots, and
the gunman's video of the murder, which he uploaded to Facebook,
would spread over the internet like wildfire. In the wake of his
daughter's murder, Andy Parker became a national leader in the
fight for commonsense gun safety legislation. The night of the
murder, with his emotions still raw, he went on Fox News and vowed
to do "Whatever it Takes" to end gun violence in America. Today he
is a media go-to each time a shooting shocks the national
consciousness, and has worked with a range of other crusaders, like
Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, Mayor Michael Bloomberg, and Lenny
Pozner, whose son was killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School and
brought suit against Alex Jones and Infowars, who claimed the
shooting was staged. In For Alison, Parker shares his work as
a powerhouse battling gun violence and gives a plan for commonsense
gun legislation that all sides should agree on. He calls out the
NRA-backed politicians blocking the legislation, shares his fight
against "truthers," who claim Alison's murder was fabricated, and
reveals what's ahead in his fight to do whatever it takes to stop
gun violence. Parker's story is one of great loss, but also
resilience, determination, and a call to action. Senator Tim Kaine,
also a fierce advocate for commonsense gun laws, contributes a
moving foreword.
