The Cokeville Miracle: When Angels Intervene

“This is a revolution! This school is being taken hostage! . . . Don’t push any alarms, answer any phones, or call for help. I have guns and this is a bomb. . . . You and I are only one-half inch from death.”

This is the true story of a traumatic hostage takeover that threatened the lives of over 150 students and teachers from Cokeville, Wyoming. As parents of one of the student hostages, Hartt and Judene Wixom recapture the terror and confusion that struck this small, tight-knit community on May 16, 1986. The Wixoms describe in detail the chain of events that led up to David Young’s invasion, balancing the horrific scenes of terror with stories of courage and faith.
