A Father's Fight
Taking on Alex Jones and Reclaiming the Truth About Sandy Hook

How one father, determined to reclaim his daughter’s memory, brought down Alex Jones. On December 14, 2012, Robbie Parker’s daughter, Emilie, was killed at Sandy Hook Elementary in an unthinkable tragedy that changed both Robbie’s life and our country forever. By December 15, Alex Jones was live on air telling his listeners that the shooting was a hoax.   So begins Parker’s David and Goliath story, a story of hope and resilience in a time defined by hatred and division. A Father's Fight is a moving testament to the power of a father’s love and perseverance in the face of insurmountable grief.   Over the next decade, while Robbie and his family tried to grieve the loss of their daughter, Jones’s rabid fans harassed and accused them of being crisis actors. The hatred turned Robbie further and further inward—away from his wife, his daughters, and from himself—to a place of isolation where he thought he could hide. But four years after Sandy Hook and three thousand miles away from Newton, an Infowars listener accosted Robbie. “How do you live with yourself? You liar,” he said before following Robbie for blocks. It became clear to Robbie that he could no longer avoid this horrible, terrifying reality.   Not long after, seventeen students were murdered by a gunman at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. In a terrible twist of fate, Robbie knew one of the parents who had lost their child. They told Robbie they were already bombarded with hateful messages, making it impossible to grieve. It was then that Robbie realized he needed to stand up to Jones if he ever hoped to heal. To reclaim his daughter’s memory and himself, he would need to take down one of the nation’s most influential bullies. With the help of the courageous group of Sandy Hook parents, fierce lawyers, and a community of supporters, he did just that.   A Father's Fight is more than a memoir. A Father's Fight is a stirring portrait of an unbreakable human spirit.
