“This touching and beautiful book shines a light on a community in crisis while also showcasing their resiliency. As a mom and a native of Texas, I was moved by the sensitive reporting of John Quiñones, María Elena Salinas, and their team.”
—Eva Longoria, actress, producer, director, and activist
“Two of the best journalists in the country, and the ABC News Investigative Unit, tackle one of the most important events of our generation. It’s superb reporting with respect, precision, and a heart. . . . They stayed in Uvalde and it shows. This is necessary reading if you want to know who we are as a nation.”
—Jorge Ramos, anchor, Univision News
“A bold idea born out of tragedy. One Year in Uvalde shows us what journalism can achieve when journalists look like the people they cover and commit to staying to tell the stories that need to be told. John Quiñones, María Elena Salinas, and the entire team artfully give voice to a community, honor the lives lost, and hold authorities accountable, resulting in a powerful, damning, heartbreaking, and inspiring documentation of history.”
—Cecilia Vega, Correspondent, 60 Minutes
“What happened in Uvalde didn’t just change that small town. It changed our country. I understand why María Elena and John needed to be there, to be present and to write this powerful book. There are deep and profound lessons about what happened in Uvalde. Now more than ever we need journalists to be telling this story, and to not turn away.”
—Maria Hinojosa, Pulitzer prize winner and president, Futuro Investigates
