There's only one word to describe your dad being shot 13 times in an armed robbery: cool. Brock Heasley was 12. The cost of terrible violence was more than just unknown to him - it was negligible. Besides, he never doubted his father would live. He could put footballs into orbit, just like Superman. That was the peak. The comedown was finding out his dad was human after all, sending Brock on a journey of self-discovery and forcing him to question everything he was raised to believe. Then, when tragedy strikes again years later and his father is murdered, Brock's faith and capacity to forgive are put to the ultimate test. The Other Side of Fear is an uplifting, personal memoir filled with humor and gut-wrenching honesty that serves as a convincing statement on the power of the atonement to heal and to comfort.
