Hardcover / Hardback. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First edition. Hardback. High school student Harold Connally feels alienated from his peers, misunderstood by his parents, and isolated from the world. He is his only friend. Worst of all, he feels that he deserves this extreme rejection. In sheer desperation, he steals his father's gun, and in cold blood, kills his parents and embarks upon a shooting spree at his school. What pushed him over the edge? What happens to children who kill? In this composite biography of a teenager who kills, the author, a psychologist, has drawn from her extensive work with teen killers and their victims. The book expresses, from the child's own tormented inner perspective, and in his own raw language, what drove him to kill. This landmark book tells what actual children who have killed say they want adults to know. Despite the fact that teen violence is becoming epidemic, the subject is rarely discussed with children. Designed for use by parents, teachers, and psychologists, this vital and thought-provoking book offers the basis for opening that dialogue. With Suggested Reading. 235pp. 8vo. h/back. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. Sl. sunned o/w Nr. F. in Nr. F. dw. Seller Inventory # 15390
