Texas A&M University Press Publishes Account Of Uvalde School Shooting
Texas A&M University Press has published an account of the 2022 Uvalde, Texas, school shooting authored by the publisher of the Uvalde Leader-News.
“Uvalde’s Darkest Hour,” by Craig Garnett, chronicles the tragedy’s horrific chain of events, and presents the community’s attempts to heal, make sense of the incomprehensible, and seek meaningful change on the local and state level.
While Garnett covered the event as it happened from a journalist’s lens, it also directly impacted his news team. Among his five-person staff was Kimberly Rubio, whose 10-year-old daughter Lexi was killed in her classroom along with 18 classmates and two teachers.
Garnett and the book have been featured in the New York Times , Editor and Publisher Magazine, the San Antonio Express-News, and reviewed in Publisher’s Weekly.
He will be donating his royalties from sales of the book to the Robb School Memorial Fund.
The book’s publication date is Dec. 3. It is available from University Press at tamupress.com, by calling 800-826-8911, or wherever fine books are sold.
