the book describes dylan klebold as he grew into a teenager and his behaviors in the time leading up to the massacre, as well as sue klebold's desire to leave public attention after the massacre occurred. sue klebold faced negative attitudes towards herself and faced stresses on her own family. she did not believe dylan klebold willingly partook in the attack until she viewed the videotapes he made with eric harris. she ultimately decided to promote suicide prevention. as reviewer rachel shteir notes, the book “avoids details of the attack”. the book also describes the various media-related controversies, including bullying, copycatting, and the effect of violence on u.s. culture. sue klebold often states that her son was depressive instead of psychopathic, and that compared to eric harris, dylan klebold allowed some victims to flee, as well as killing fewer people.
