Author Shoran Reid Reid’s book, Waking the Sleeping Demon: 26 Hours of Terror in Atlanta (Rella Publishing Trade Paperback), was required reading for the new TU students. The book follows the infamous Atlanta Courthouse shootings by Brian Nichols, but is told from the unique perspective of the victims. In March 2005, Nichols, who was to appear in court for the rape and kidnapping of his exgirlfriend, was able to break free of his captors and go on a killing spree, which included a judge and a prosecutor. Both in her book and in her talk to the TU students, Reid remarked that she wanted to change people’s way of thinking “in a way that would make us all stop and ask what kind of society we live in if we continually dismiss peoples’ bone-searing pain, yet relish in stories of ‘why’ their tormentors committed such atrocities.” Reid was a successful civil trial attorney in Atlanta for nearly a decade before turning her attention to writing.
