On April 20, 1999, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold stormed Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado. Within minutes, they would kill twelve students and a teacher and wound twenty-four others before taking their own lives. Since then, Sue Klebold, Dylan's mother, has been living with the overwhelming grief and shame resulting from that day. How was it possible that her child, the promising young man she had loved and raised, could be responsible for such an atrocity? How, as a mother, had she not realized something was wrong? Were there subtle signs that she had overlooked? What, if anything, could she have done differently?
These are the questions that haunt Klebold every day since the Columbine tragedy. In her book, "A Mother’s Reckoning," she candidly documents her journey as a mother trying to accept the unthinkable. She hopes that the insights and understandings she has gained can help other families recognize when a child is in danger. She tells her story fully, drawing from her personal diaries, the videos and writings Dylan left behind, and countless interviews with mental health experts.
"A Mother’s Reckoning" is a powerful and haunting book that sheds light on one of the most pressing issues of our time. With the fresh wounds from the recent attacks in Newtown and Charleston, the need for understanding has never been more urgent.
