Non-Fiction Memoir
I don’t want to get out of bed.
I’m so stupid.
I did
so many things wrong.
I don’t know what to do.
I’m
going to be in so much trouble.
What am I going to
do?
I’m completely screwed.
In 1991,
fourteen-year-old Brent Runyon came home from school, doused
his bathrobe in gasoline, put it on, and lit a match.
He suffered third-degree burns over 85% of his body
and spent the next year recovering in hospitals and rehab
facilities. During that year of physical recovery, Runyon
began to question what he’d done, undertaking the
complicated journey from near-death back to high school, and
from suicide back to the emotional mainstream of
life.
In the tradition of Running with Scissors
and Girl, Interrupted, The Burn Journals
is a truly remarkable book about teenage despair and recovery.
