We sometimes speak about the murder of a child as ‘every parent’s worst nightmare’, but how much worse would it be if your child was the murderer, and then killed himself? Sue Klebold knows. Her son Dylan was one of the perpetrators of the original high school shooting, Columbine, in 1999, and in this blazingly honest autobiography she details the shame and horror and guilt he left behind. By all accounts she was a good parent, and she never saw it coming. How to go on after such a tragedy? How to ever walk in the world again? Klebold’s account is such a worthwhile read and a reminder that evil acts can stem from seemingly ordinary boys, and families.
