On April 20, 1999, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold walked into Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado; they killed twelve students and a teacher and wounded twenty-four others before taking their own lives. Sue Klebold, Dylan's mother, has lived with the indescribable grief and shame of that day. How, as his mother, had she not known something was wrong? Here she chronicles her journey as a mother trying to come to terms with the incomprehensible, shedding light on one of the most pressing issues of our time. |
