Day of Fury is the true story of an idyllic community caught up in a bizarre and shocking national tragedy. On May 20, 1988, in Winnetka, Illinois, normal life ceased forever when Laurie Dann went on a murderous rampage that culminated in an indiscriminate shooting in a 2nd-grade classroom. The author masterfully depicts this all-American community, shattered by the events of that day, now attempting to heal.
