The Happening is a true account of the West Nickle Mines Amish school shooting woven into a story told through the eyes and heart of a young survivor.

It was just another Monday morning. The people of Nickle Mines, Pennsylvania, went about their daily lives, tending their farms and going off to work or school. Only one man had an idea what this particular Monday would hold- one man.... and the God in whom he no longer believed.
