Something Ain't Right

De: Roger Stringer, Zachary Stringer

Narrado por: Roger Stringer, Zachary Stringer

Roger Stringer grew up in rural Mississippi, hunting and eating everything from deer to rabbits. When he had two sons, Zac and Justin, he gave them guns and took them to the woods as well. Then one day when the boys were home alone, he got a call from Zac that Justin had been shot.

What follows is an intimate and gripping memoir about the shooting’s aftermath. The story moves between the perspectives of Roger and Zac as they take us through their journey of betrayal, redemption, and ultimately confrontation with a company that had kept its corruption a secret for decades.

The Journey for Truth

Said in a simple, beautiful and concise way this is a true story that will touch even the most frosty heart. It is a story we all need to hear. A story each of us will find a part to relate to, a part of ourselves that responds to the pain that this tale relates. It is also a caution. I don't want to elaborate anymore because that would end up spoiling the story line. The feelings produced should not be reduced by my review. So, I'm going to ask...something, I've never asked with regards to a book or a story and I'm going to request that you hear this one out.

Powerful, important story

This memoir is one of the most memorable I've heard in a long time. It was so unexpected in so many ways. Thank you to the authors for sharing such a personal story so powerfully!

Sad but helpful account

Possibly we will learn to listen better and refrain from uniformed judgments. Thank you for enlightening me on the gun regulation debacle and once again the sin of greed driving lawmakers. Blessings upon Zack, Roger and their families.

God Bless

What a powerful family story of unimaginable challenges, dedication to soulful healing, and the power of love.

Powerful

The strength God provides is amazing! it is sad that a company couldn't see that life is worth more than the $0.05 per trigger it would cost to correct the problem!

Inspiring story

What a tragedy. I hope that the family recovers completely or at least finds solace knowing that their story will hopefully save others.

Shocked at how good this was

I do not like guns and have always felt like they should be banned. However listening to this riviting story so many of my pre consived bias were eradicated. I’m a city mouse- but learned so much about genuine compassion and forgiveness from these two. I literally could not stop listening as I listened to their plight and was humbled in a way that’s hard to put into words about my own bias and prejudices. This is an amazing story for anyone - they are relatable and really put themselves out there in a way that surprised me. I went in knowing nothing about their story and am glad I took the leap! Brilliantly done and heartfelt story that kept me on the edge of my car seat ( where I listen to audible)

Heartbreaking and Enlightening

Terrible things happen to people who have no ill intent. I think the lesson here is what do you do in response to tragedy when it shows up in your life.

Bravo Zach & Roger. Carry on and live well.

Big Bang for Your Buck (no pun intended 🤭)!

For such a short read, there’s a lot to unpack. The obvious story is the heartbreaking & preventable death of a child at the hands of his sibling. However, it gives one pause to think on how you feel about guns, legislation, accountability (especially for those with deep pockets), judging, the importance of our time spent with family & loved ones, and how to take the good from tragedy while allowing it to make us better people. Except whatever happened to the mother? She sort of vaporized despite reportedly always believing her son.

Wow!

Big greedy corporations..SMH. Beautiful story between a family who find and understand each other once again. Great short listen and lesson learned.
