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
