About this product

Product Information

The acclaimed New York Times bestseller by Sue Klebold, mother of one of the Columbine shooters, about living in the aftermath of Columbine. On April 20, 1999, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold walked into Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado. Over the course of minutes, they would kill twelve students and a teacher and wound twenty-four others before taking their own lives. For the last sixteen years, Sue Klebold, Dylan's mother, has lived with the indescribable grief and shame of that day. How could her child, the promising young man she had loved and raised, be responsible for such horror? And how, as his mother, had she not known something was wrong? Were there subtle signs she had missed? What, if anything, could she have done differently? These are questions that Klebold has grappled with every day since the Columbine tragedy. In A Mother's Reckoning , she chronicles with unflinching honesty her journey as a mother trying to come to terms with the incomprehensible. In the hope that the insights and understanding she has gained may help other families recognize when a child is in distress, she tells her story in full, drawing upon her personal journals, the videos and writings that Dylan left behind, and on countless interviews with mental health experts. Filled with hard-won wisdom and compassion, A Mother's Reckoning is a powerful and haunting book that sheds light on one of the most pressing issues of our time. And with fresh wounds from the Newtown and Charleston shootings, never has the need for understanding been more urgent. All author profits from the book will be donated to research and to charitable organizations focusing on mental health issues. -- Washington Post , Best Memoirs of 2016

Reviews
"...[U]nimaginably detailed, raw, minute-by-minute, illuminating, and just plain gripping. It's also the most extraordinary testament--to honesty, love, pain, doubt, and resilience.... This book is nothing less than a public service. I beseech you to read it." - Bruce Feiller "As people read Sue's memoir, what they will find is that her book is honest, and her pain genuine.  Her story may be uncomfortable to read, but it will raise awareness about brain health and the importance of early identification and intervention to maintain it.  If people listen to her - to all that she has experienced, and to how this has changed her - they will be quicker to respond to depression in young people, to the suicidal thinking that can accompany it, and to the rage that can build almost unnoticed in young people when the people who truly and completely love and care for them are distracted by other challenges in life." --Paul Gionfriddo, President and CEO of  Mental Health America "Required reading for all parents of adolescents...soul-piercingly honest, written with bravery and intelligence... A book of nobility and importance." - The Times  "Reading this book as a critic is hard; reading it as a parent is devastating....I imagine snippets of my own young children in Dylan Klebold, shades of my parenting in Sue and Tom.  I suspect that many families will find their own parallels....This book's insights are painful and necessary and its contradictions inevitable." -- Carlos Lozada , The Washington Post  "[Sue Klebold's book] reads as if she had written it under oath, while trying to answer, honestly and completely, an urgent question: What could a parent have done to prevent this tragedy'... She earns our pity, our empathy and, often, our admiration; and yet the book's ultimate purpose is to serve as a cautionary tale, not an exoneration." --The New York Times Book Review "[T]he parenting book everyone should read." --Parents.com  "I believe Sue Klebold.  So will you." --LA Times "At times her story is so chilling you want to turn away, but Klebold's compassion and honesty -and realization that parents and institutions must work to discover kids' hidden suffering-will keep you riveted." --People.com "This book which can be tough to read in places is an important one. It helps us arrive at a new understanding of how Columbine happened and, in the process, may help avert other tragedies." Rated: A. --Entertainment Weekly

    A Real Eye-Opener!

    I felt this was a very accurate and compassionate description of what Sue Klebold and her family had to go through. We lost our 18-year old son to an auto accident 18 years ago now (through someone else's negligence) and we certainly know what the grieving process is like. My eyes were opened regarding what life is like for the parents, family, and other innocent victims of a suicide victim who also victimized many others in this terrible tragedy. This was an honest, forthright account of the emotional, physical, mental, and social impact that this had on many.

    Not what I expected or wanted

    As I began to read, I was hopeful that I would be able to empathize and feel compassion toward the author. That quickly dissolved and I hoped to simply not get angry as I continued to read. I found this book disappointing in it's entirety. Sue Klebold took the opportunity to fill page after page attempting to explain her murdering son's normal upbringing and life. And when she wasn't filling pages with that, she was filling pages with what a good mother she was. The title of the book was misleading. I assumed the author was going to shed some light on how she reached the realization that her son caused horrific monumental damage and how, and when she made amends with the many victims her son turned into victims. Sue Klebold seems to want to pat herself on the back for all that she ...

    Compelling

    The story overall was very thought provoking and at times difficult due to the nature of the subject matter. I recommend this book to anyone that is aware of the state and critical time we live among. The story clarifies misconceptions and is a mental tool in preventing tragedies. After reading this it feels as one was present in the daily lives of the Klebold family.

    Great Read

    I can't even begin to imagine what this family has endured, I too had worked with children (the worlds greatest actors). I will read this book a second time and maybe even a third just to try to pick out warning signs or red flags. I can't thank you enough for writing this book I just pray that other people who read it will read it for the right reasons, Thank you for the time, pain and courage it took to write this book. Maybe if enough people read it we can help stop some of the craziness that is taking over our society.

    Amazing book!

    It's easy to not think about the family as victim of the massacre but they most certainly are! I feel like I grieve with Sue and I'm so glad to read about her side of the story. It really is an amazing book!
