About Find The Helpers: What 9/11 And Parkland Taught Me
Product Description A Parkland Shooting Grief Recovery Journey “… powerful and heartening lessons on how we can help one another move forward and build a safer, more just world.” ―Gabby Giffords“Fred Guttenberg is a hero." ―Lawrence O'Donnell 2020 Nautilus Silver Winner#1 New Release in Grief & Loss Life changed forever on Valentine's Day 2018 for Fred Guttenberg's family. What should have been a day of love became a nightmare. Seventeen people died at Florida’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. Jaime Guttenberg, age 14, was the second to last victim. From grieving to activism. That Jaime and so many of her fellow students were struck down in cold blood galvanized many to action, including Jaime’s father Fred now an activist dedicated to passing common sense gun safety legislation. But this book is not about gun safety or Parkland. Fred was already struggling with deep personal loss. Four months earlier his brother Michael died of 9/11 induced pancreatic cancer. He had been exposed to too much dust and chemicals at Ground Zero. Michael battled heroically for nearly five years and then died at age fifty. Find the Helpers has a special meaning to the Guttenberg’s. It was a beloved family wisdom learned from watching Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood. In the midst of tragedy, "always look for the helpers. There will always be helpers. Because if you look for the helpers, you’ll know there’s hope." ―Fred Rogers, 1999 Healing from grief. Discover the story of Fred Guttenberg’s journey since Jaime’s death and how he has been able to get through the worst of times thanks to the kindness and compassion of others. Good things happen to good people at the hands of other good people─and the world is filled with them. They include everyone from amazing gun violence survivors Fred has met to former VP Joe Biden, who spent time talking to him about finding mission and purpose in learning to grieve. Enjoyed Eyes to the Wind, Haben, or The Beauty in Breaking? Then you'll love Find the Helpers! Review “While Find the Helpers is not a conventional ‘political book,’ Fred Guttenberg is the father of Parkland shooting victim Jaime Guttenberg, whose life has inherently become political since that tragic day on February 14, 2018. Intertwining his experiences losing his brother during 9/11 and his fourteen-year-old daughter to gun violence, Guttenberg show readers how to find hope within the darkness and fight to make lasting change. ― Marie Claire magazine “Fred Guttenberg has lived through the unimaginable. The shooting death of his beautiful daughter Jaime in Parkland was reported all over the world. It is impossible to know the anguish that Fred carries after such a catastrophic loss, but because of this beautiful book, we are shown the way toward hope, belief in the good of humanity, and discovering purpose. Through his story we meet all the Helpers who helped carry his pain when he couldn’t, and we see Fred, now strong and focused, a fierce leader and compassionate Helper.” ―Debra Messing “No one should experience what Fred Guttenberg has, not once but twice. Fred has taken searing loss and made it a mission. His story is extraordinary, perhaps all the more so because he didn't seek anything more than a good life for his loved ones, a simple, ordinary happiness and togetherness. Fred Guttenberg is a dad and brother whose deep love for his family was put to the test by the crucible of grief, shock, and pain. He took that and turned it into a passion for taking a stand and making a difference. May you be inspired by Fred's book Find the Helpers. I know I am.” ―Alyssa Milano "Fred Guttenberg’s life with his family before Valentine's Day 2018 sounds almost magical. He had two wonderful children, a loving wife, a successful track record as a businessman, and he lived in Parkland, Florida, a community considered one of the safest in the nation.
