A Mother's Reckoning by Sue Klebold

I don't often read non fiction. The publisher recommended this book and Black Flags, the book on ISIS (review to follow) and I was riveted from the introduction right till the last word.

It was a harrowing story told through the heartache, loss and love of a mother, which I believe to have been a cathartic  experience for Sue Klebold. 

Understandably, she questioned her parenting, her inability to see behind the facade her son, Dylan, constructed. 

She openly discusses mental health and it's possible forms of expression. 

Her account of the days and months after the shooting are accurately recaptured (with the aid of her constant journaling at that time."

A must read!
