A Fateful Weekend

Written By David Schnitzer

As news of Kennedy’s assassination unfolds, a seven-year-old boy tries to make sense of the grief blanketing his family and the world beyond. With only a vague understanding of who “the President” is, he observes the somber mood of his mother and grandparents. Yet life doesn’t stop entirely; his little brother’s sixth birthday arrives the next day. A tender glimpse of joy and loss colliding in one unforgettable weekend.
