At four years old, Tracy Lance burned down her family’s home.
For decades, she lived in the smoke of that day, convinced that every hardship that followed was karmic debt for flicking the lighter. She was sentenced long before she ever admitted guilt.

She grew up in poverty, was stabbed in the eye and left partially blind. Just as she was cleared to remove the eye patch, not even a year later, she was caught by a bullet that pierced more than her flesh. All kinds of metaphorical and literal shots were fired at her.

She probably should have been dead, or at the very least, walking around with a “Hazardous Material” sign on her chest. Instead, she is here to share her story.

"SHOTS Fired: A Heroine’s Memoir" traces Lance’s journey from the ashes of Chicago’s Englewood neighborhood to the thin air and breathless nights on Mt. Kilimanjaro. There, at 19,000 feet, gasping for oxygen, she discovered she wasn’t suffocating from altitude.
She uncovered a truth she didn’t know she was carrying, a reminder that sometimes we must lose our breath to learn how to finally exhale.
