The arc of Tragedy in Aurora is the story of Jessica (Jessi) Ghawi, who was murdered in a public mass shooting at a theater in Aurora, Colorado in 2012. Along that arc the book argues that America is at a crossroads of cultural definition. It examines America's culture war over gun control.

This book analyzes the everyday actions of ordinary people in the context of extreme political and cultural polarization, distort the criminal justice system and betray the lofty ideals expressed in American founding documents and centuries of Anglo-American articulations of basic human rights.
