I want to give this book one million stars.

I could write pages about how amazing, how important, and how brave this book is and it still wouldn't be enough. For me, it immediately falls into my top 25 books, one that I want to beg every parent and every person working with children to read. There is so much here for everyone, and so much that needed to be said.

This is not a book about Columbine. It is a book about mental health issues, how we judge parents, and what we can do to move forward to help people in mental health crises. It is a beautiful and heartbreaking memoir, one that was certainly difficult to read at times, but one that will stay with me for a lifetime. I can only hope as my own children - who we already know have mental health issues- navigate adolescence into adulthood, I keep these lessons and the information in this book in my heart to help them.

Thank you thank you thank you Sue Klebold for writing this book.
