06.04: Visiting Hours: A Memoir of Friendship and Murder

2015-05-18 22:04:43| Powells Books Events Calendar

In her powerful and unforgettable memoir, Visiting Hours (Blue Rider Press), Amy Butcher examines the shattering consequences of failing a friend when she felt he needed one most. Four weeks before their college graduation, 21-year old Kevin Schaeffer walked Butcher to her home in their college town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Hours after parting ways, he fatally stabbed his ex-girlfriend, Emily Silverstein. While he was awaiting trial, psychiatrists concluded that he had suffered an acute psychotic break. Although severely affected by Kevin's crime, Butcher remained devoted to him as a friend, believing that his actions were the direct result of his untreated illness. Over time, she became obsessed — determined to discover the narrative that explained what Kevin had done. Visiting Hours is Butcher's deeply personal, heart-wrenching exploration of how trauma affects memory and the way a friendship changes and often strengthens through seemingly insurmountable challenges.
