À propos de cet audio

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.

Includes a PDF of acknowledgments and resources from the book.

All author profits from the book will be donated to research and to charitable organizations focusing on mental health issues.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“…[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

This was a hard listen. Despite the compassion I have for Sue, the cognitive dissonance that still remains in her narrative after all these years of reflection is heartbreaking. The revelatory tone of this book makes it clear that so many parents are still focused on checking boxes as they try to raise a "good kid", but are still not thinking critically about the boxes themselves.

A difficult read for so many reasons

I can't recall how I felt about Columbine as I would have been 12 at the time. But I feel this story by Sue was so needed. So much was lost in that tragedy, but her viewpoint should not be. Couldn't stop reading. Highly recommend

Stunning

I have learned a lot from this read but I believe the most important is that we all need a brain scan for our mental health and how we should take it more seriously And be educated more on our mental health and tools we can use or places to go or call when having a certain trigger,,,,i can relate to Dylan and Eric in some ways of there thinking but I believe if they had the help as she discussed in this book columbine would not have happened I’m so sorry for people who have lost there loved ones by any means and if sue were to read this I’m sorry for your tragic loss as I feel u lost more then just a son u lost what u thought u knew ur relationships and the loss of anyone affected by columbine who lost there lives as I can hear u carry that on yourself I’m also so sorry for ur family please know Dylan never had the capacity to think how his actions would affect everyone when I was a teenager dealing with the thought of suicide I never looked at what would to my family or how it would affect people who cared for me ,,,im glad your bringing this to the attention of everyone about the severity we suffer with mental health issues thank you again sue

Very good read that hits the feels but also makes you think about a side of a tragic story that people might find themselves struggling to sympathize with.

Heartfelt and thoughtful

the opening was a man pretty much saying it wasn't her fault but harris'.

the book was repetitive in saying why she is not a bad parent and it all comes down to harris. How her parenting had nothing to do with her sons outcome. I'm not even saying it would be all the parents' fault, but not noticing the changes makes me think you're delusional. While her grief was real and grappling with her grief was genuinely felt, the harris was the mastermind was always nudging in. it's like when someone apologizes and then adds a but. You could have left that underlying tone completely out of this book. No one was expecting the curtain draw, with the TADAA reason this happened. Her description of events was honest and raw, and while it was difficult to share, she did so in an unfiltered you're with her way. I believe she was truly sorry her son did this and if she could have changed this, she would have then it was tainted by the undertone again.
Her path of grief was tragic and I'm glad she found an outlet with other parents to grieve bc that must have been very hard for her to separate the murderer vs the son that took his own life.
I'm happy I read this, I hope the parents and especially the brother have found a way to move forward.
