A Mother's Reckoning

In the *New York Times* bestseller *A Mother's Reckoning*, Sue Klebold, mother of Columbine shooter Dylan Klebold, offers an unflinching, profoundly personal account of life in the aftermath of incomprehensible tragedy. For sixteen years, Klebold has grappled with devastating grief and shame, questioning how her son could commit such horrific acts on April 20, 1999. Drawing on her journals, Dylan's writings, and expert interviews, she explores the subtle signs she might have missed, seeking understanding and hoping to help other families recognize distress in children. This powerful memoir, named one of the Best Memoirs of 2016 by the *Washington Post*, fosters vital conversations about mental health, with all author profits donated to related research and charities.
