SYNOPSIS: Richard Herrin was a poverty-haunted youth from the Los Angeles ghetto who came to Yale on a scholarship. Bonnie Garland was the lovely daughter of wealth and privilege, who came to Yale as her birthright. In Yale's socially and sexually permissive atmosphere, this inwardly tormented young man and this sheltered young woman plunged into an intensely romantic affair that seemed to conquer all the odds--until the night a savage act of violence turned love's young dream into the nightmare and horror that still shocks the nation! - and - Who was to blame? Was it Richard Herrin, for whom love turned into an obsession that drove him beyond all restraint when it was threatened? Was it Bonnie Garland, for giving herself to this young man so completely, and then beginning to doubt her decision when new horizons beckoned? Was it Bonnie's parents, who rejected their daughter's lover and tried to destroy their affair? Or was it the law, that had to decide what the punishment would be? This book does not take sides. It does tell the whole intensely moving, piercingly revealing story of the fatal romance of Richard Herrin and Bonnie Garland. AWARDS: A Selection of the Literary Guild.
