Leesa Ross did not expect to write a book. Neither did she expect
the tragedy that her family endured, a horrific and sudden death
that led her to write At Close Range. Her debut memoir is the story
of what happened after her son Jon died in a freak gun accident at
a party. Ross unsparingly shares the complexities of grief as it
ripples through the generations of her family, then chronicles how
the loss of Jon has sparked a new life for her as a prominent
advocate for gun safety. Before the accident, Ross never had a
motivation to consider the role that guns played in her life. Now,
she revisits ways in which guns became a part of everyday life for
her three sons and their friends. Ross's attitude towards guns is
thorny. She has collectors and hunters in her family. To balance
her advocacy, she joined both Moms Demand Action and the NRA.
Through At Close Range, the national conversation about gun control
plays out in one family's catalyzing moment and its aftermath.
However, At Close Range ultimately shows one mother's effort to
create meaning from tragedy and find a universally reasonable
position and focal point: gun safety and responsible ownership.
