A Mother's Reckoning: Living in the Aftermath of Tragedy by Sue Klebold

informative reflective slow-paced

3.25

Informative, and an important look on the aftermath of a tragedy for the family and friends of the perpetrator. Sue Klebold writes well, but her perspective still has rose colored glasses. I hate her for making me empathize with her son. She gives only a partial view of who he was.

I think I may have read this book before, but I had got concussion the summer I read it, so I had a deep sense of deja vu the entire time I was reading.

Kelbold's work with organizations working to prevent suicide and murder suicides/mass shootings like Columbine is both soothing for her, and does good for the world. I hope she finds peace, but I also hope her son and his friend are never forgiven for the atrocity they committed.
