Suitcases - NYs Next Best Seller (Paperback)

The world remembers the shooting.

No one remembers the children.

The headlines fade. The protests end. The cameras disappear.

But for the children left behind...

life is only beginning.

When tragedy shatters Jakeam and Isis Gibson's world, they're forced to navigate a future no child should ever have to face. As they grow from frightened children into young adults, they're left carrying more than grief—they're carrying unanswered questions, unimaginable loss, and a promise that has bound them together for years.

What becomes of children whose parents never come home from those who are meant to protect and serve us?

Do they grow up angry?

Do they spend their lives searching for justice?

Do they forgive? Or seek revenge?

Or does the weight of one devastating moment follow them forever?

Suitcases is a powerful story of love, loss, family, resilience, and the invisible scars left behind when the world moves on—but the children never get to.

Because some tragedies don't end when the headlines do.

They become someone's childhood.
