A Mother's Reckoning places Sue Klebold's perspective as Dylan Klebold's mother at the centre of a memoir about Columbine, grief and what she learned only after the shooting. A Mother's Reckoning traces her family life before the attack, what she learned about her son's hidden behaviour afterwards and her attempts to understand how someone she knew as a son could participate in mass murder. The book also discusses depression, suicidality, warning signs and the limits of what family members may be able to see. Its focus is personal rather than investigative: Klebold examines memory, guilt, grief and retrospective interpretation while drawing on later conversations with mental-health professionals. The book belongs in memoir, bereavement, suicide prevention and nonfiction about school violence, and is most useful to readers looking for a parent's account of Columbine rather than a general history of the event.
