In a quiet Michigan town with no secrets, Billy's death unleashes some ugly memories -- events that the working-class Johnson family has struggled for years to forget. Ray watches closely as the sheriff pursues the killer, and soon he is reluctantly drawn back to a violent and chaotic family history, which he reveals in a voice that is sometimes funny, often shocking, but always unsparingly honest. In the span of four unforgettable days Ray Johnson propels us through past and present, desolation and joy, as he is forced to reassess a life of stark abuse and remarkable Love.\u003cp\u003eBilly Dead looks unflinchingly at the web of devotion and cruelty that can bind families together in a merciless pact. In a world of brutality both given and received, we are asked finally what redemption is possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"Billy Dead | Lisa Reardon | Paperback | 9780140280517 | Used: Very Good | Fiction 1672573","offer_id":48753943478424,"sku":"1672573","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/41CXDE47M5L.jpg?v=1774069910","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/billy-dead","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
