Book description
Eva never really wanted to be a mother; certainly not the mother of the
unlovable boy who murdered seven of his fellow high school students, a
cafeteria worker and a teacher who tried to befriend him. Now, two years
later, it is time for her to come to terms with marriage, career,
family, parenthood and Kevin's horrific rampage in a series of
startlingly direct correspondences with her absent husband, Franklyn.
Uneasy with the sacrifices and social demotion of motherhood from the
start, Eva fears that her alarming dislike for her own son may be
responsible for driving him so nihilistically off the rails. Eva never
