“In Shot, Jude Berman brings forth a powerful and haunting exploration of gun violence in America in a bold work of short stories that will captivate readers with its thematic unity and vivid prose, leaving readers to ponder what lies beyond the final moments.”

Jennifer Goldsmith
Journalist and survivor of two mass shootings

“With her eye for detail and talent for deftly and empathetically sketching characters, Jude Berman has pulled off a true, and important, feat. In her indelible characters, you will surely see someone you know. You may even see yourself. If art can move the needle, this book might do it.”

Lorna Graham
Writer at Dateline NBC and author of Where You Once Belonged
