While They Slept by Kathryn Harrison
Early on an April morning, eighteen-year-old Billy Frank Gilley, Jr., killed his sleeping parents. Surprised in the act by his younger sister, Becky, he turned on her as well. Billy then climbed the stairs to the bedroom of his other sister, Jody, and said, We're free. But is one ever free after an unredeemable act of violence? In this mesmerizing book-based on interviews with Billy and Jody as well as with friends, police, and social workers involved in the case-bestselling writer Kathryn Harrison brilliantly uncovers the true story behind this shocking crime and examines the extent as well as the limits of psychic resilience in the aftermath of tragedy.
Harrison, Kathryn: - Kathryn Harrison holds an eclectic blend of science, marketing and art skills. She has a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology/ Psychology from Queen's University, an MBA in Marketing from McMaster University, worked for over a decade as a Communications professional and then went on to earn a Fine Art Diploma from the Toronto School of Art. Stirred by her personal experience with her mother's dementia, Kathryn wrote and illustrated this, her first picture book, Weeds in Nana's Garden. It is designed to support families and spread awareness of Alzheimer's Disease and other dementia, in honor of her mom, Bonnie Harrison. In creating this book, Kathryn has been able to layer all her different abilities together. Her understanding of brain disease stems from her education in science. Real world experience in marketing and advertising has helped her to be a compelling storyteller. And, finally her art training is apparent in her rich, mixed media illustrations that take in the reader and hold them. Kathryn creates from Cobourg, Ontario, Canada, a small town just outside of Toronto, where she is continuously inspired by her kids, her cats and her colorful natural surroundings.
