Reid's Story: The Inspiration Behind the #BEKIND Movement

A step-by-painful-step journey to one of the most distressing moments any parent could endure—chronicles of a smart, beautiful, gifted, and kind young man whose mistake spiraled into a snap decision to end his life, leaving behind endless unanswered questions and a life sentence of wonder.

When an inappropriate photo was published on social media, bountiful messages went back and forth between Reid and his friends. Reid’s peril was evident, but his friends assured him that it was not a big deal. Reid was overcome by the shame of his actions, chose suicide, and left an immense ripple effect of grief in the wake.

An incredibly painful and tragic read that also has layers of hope found in it. You will feel the pain and joy of Reid’s story on every page. Reid’s Story will stir a call to action from readers to be kind and end suicide.

This raw and vulnerable memoir with key lessons for everyone is a must-read for every parent, teacher, educator, and student. Take time to invest in yourself and your children by reading this book. Together we must work to protect the hearts and minds of our children.
