Press Release Body = Julie Grant is planning on killing herself and is looking for a
chance of redemption before committing this act. She tells the story of her life as
a way of immortalizing herself. She explains how her life began to spiral out of
control following her 26th birthday, when she was brutally raped. This event forces
her to deal with her feelings in relation to sexual abuse she experienced as a child
at the hands of her mother\'s partner. The story is told in the first person which
allows Julie to explain in her own words the impact and terror these events had on
her life. Recounting these events has an unexpected effect on her. She begins to
remember the time prior to her illness and regains some normality and hope. Julie
decides not to take her life and hopes for a better future.

Excerpt from the book:

"I always thought that that the remainder of my life would pass by so quickly, every
experience, every thought, every sensation I would want to savour and enjoy. It's
not though, it is dull, boring and I find myself wishing that the hands on the clock
would begin spinning quicker than a hamster on a wheel and come to rest at the time
I am to die. I suppose I am more fortunate than most because I know the exact time,
place and date I am going to die. My death day is to be Friday the 28th of April
2006, at approximately 8.04pm and I am going to die in my bed, snuggled under my
duvet alone but surrounded by my favourite things."
