From the Publisher

One cold March morning, a young woman lay dying of multiple stab wounds on her own driveway. She came through the nightmare that followed, laughing. This book describes what happened in graphic and mesmerising detail, and with startling clarity.

While hers is no 'tinkly bells' tale, Julie Chimes tells of her out-of-body experiences during the cricis, as well as dreams and premonitions leading up to it, with startling directness. She recounts the frezied attack by a paranoid schizophrenic, a woman off her controlling medicine, with horrific immediacy and enlightened understanding. She offers vivid answers to questions seldom asked about the way we treat victims of violence and the mentally ill. Unforgettably, she describes what it feels like to die, and then, unforseeably, to live to tell the tale.

This is a multi-faceted real life drama; a story of crime due to mental illness; a story about survival; the battle to regain physical and mental well-being; a woman's quest for truth; an account of false accusation and injustice; an adventure far beyond the confines of a physical body; a humorous narrative of a voyage through our supposedly caring and free-speaking society - a society where justice is very often directly proportional to the amount you can afford to pay your lawyer. It is ultimately, the story of a spiritual awakening. And it is dynamite.
