Book by mother of girl killed in Tucson shooting reflects on daughter’s life, pain of attack

“The family draws strength from her memory.

One such moment that’s chronicled in the book came as her parents stood near her casket during a viewing of her body. Another mother told Green’s parents that when her son was new to his school, he sat alone on the bus for a few weeks and was unhappy.

The Greens’ daughter sat with him for two weeks and talked to him on the way to school and made him feel better. The mother thanked the Greens for her daughter’s kindness.

Christina-Taylor never relayed the story to her parents.”
