More about the book
A four-year- old boy is dead. His eight-year-old sister, Billyjean, is accused of murder. Here is the story of Billyjean, thirteen years later---the powerful portrait of a young woman's journey from madness back to reality. Billyjean lies in an unreal world where terror resides in the next room. Billyjean has returned home after thirteen years in a mental asylum. She has listened carefully to her kindly, patient psychiatrist about what to expect. She looks at her new life with a unique, completely personal logic, and the clarity of a child discovering a new alphabet... Her only friends are two precocious young neighbours who persuade Billyjean to open her own investigation into the murder. Told with penetrating psychological insight and a deft sense of drama, OUTRUN THE DARK will haunt the reader after they have turned the final page.
