A runaway escape with another girl which ended in her friend's death- brought her back to the hospital with still another scarring experience, and although strait jacketed, she attempted to set fire to herself and was badly burned. Sent home after five years, she broke down again- but this time when hospitalized-attracted the interest of a more capable psychiatrist who recognized that she could be salvaged from her hopeless loneliness and was able to bring her in contact with the world. . . .
