520    Brent Runyon was fourteen years old when he set himself on
       fire. In this book he describes that suicide attempt and 
       his recovery over the following year.  He takes us into 
       the Burn Unit in a children₂s hospital and through painful
       burn care and skin-grafting procedures. Then to a 
       rehabilitation hospital, for intensive physical, 
       occupational, and psychological therapy. And then finally 
       back home, to the frightening prospect of entering high 
       school. But more importantly, Runyon takes us into his own
       mind. He shares his thoughts and hopes and fears with such
       unflinching honesty that we understand₇with a terrible 
       clarity₇what it means to want to kill yourself and how it 
       feels to struggle back toward normality. Intense, exposed,
       insightful, The Burn Journals is a deeply personal story 
       with universal reach. It is impossible to look away. 
       Impossible to remain unmoved. This truly riveting memoir 
       is a spectacular debut for a talented new writer.
