"Imagine waking up in a hospital, paralyzed and unable to speak, only to learn you've been shot in the head in a horrifying act of domestic violence.
This is the story of Chris Smith, a 50-something-year-old contractor from rural Illinois, who was shot in the head while on a first date with a woman he met online. He was the lucky one because his date was murdered, both shot by her ex-boyfriend who was stalking her.
Chris’ story is a remarkable tale of resilience and, believe it or not, humor. With a bullet still lodged in his brain, Chris, affectionately nicknames himself 'Bullet Boy,' as he battles through a continuing recovery, reclaiming his voice and mobility with the unwavering support of his family.
Fatal First Date takes you on a raw, inspiring journey as Smith navigates the physical and emotional challenges of rehabilitation, shares his strategies for overcoming anger, and reveals how his love for gardening and his faithful dog, Tiki, became crucial to his healing.
A testament to the human capacity to persevere against seemingly insurmountable odds, this is a story that will leave you amazed and motivated to never give up.
As Chris would be the first one to tell you—he’s no angel but it’s his down-to-earth humor that makes him unique. He’s been a sinner many times over, but the Lord looked down and saved him and he knows how lucky he is.
A great read.”
— Paul La Rosa, author and television producer for the CBS News true crime broadcast “48 Hours”
