#NeverAgain: 4 powerful reads to remember the Parkland tragedy

It's been one year since the tragic school shooting at Marjory Douglas Stoneman High School in Parkland, Florida. 

Last Valentine's Day, the Parkland community was shaken to its core when the unthinkable happened: a 19-year-old former student who had been expelled for disciplinary reasons killed 17 and injured many more people using an AR-15 style semi-automatic rifle. The senseless tragedy became the deadliest high school shooting in United States history. 

We've carefully assembled a list of powerful books about the event, many of which were written by MSD survivors who were brave enough to share their stories about what that day looked like though their eyes, and the aftermath of it all. Click through the slideshow below to find the inspiring reads.
