MOBILE BIO - LIBBY DAY
GENDER ↠ CIS WOMAN AGE ↠ 31 FANDOM ↠ DARK PLACES (NOVEL ONLY) BY GILLIAN FLYNN
Poor Libby Day. They called her Angel Face, Sweet Baby Day, the sole survivor of the Kinnakee Kansas Farmhouse Slayings, a child made nationally famous by the worst day of her life. On the early morning of January 3rd, when Libby was seven years old, her mother and two sisters were brutally murdered. She only survived because she was a coward who hid in her mom’s closet and fled out a window into the frozen Kansas winter when the screaming started.
Confused, frightened, eager to help little Libby was coerced by the police investigating the murders to testify she saw her 15-year-old brother Ben commit the murders, even though she saw nothing of the act itself. But she had heard a man’s voice screaming why did you make me do this, and that had to be Ben, right? So she did as she was told and was rewarded with hugs and candy and called such a good brave girl, and she went on with her life believing the lies she was tricked into telling. She ignored Ben’s many letters and shut out the only close family she had left. She gave her aunt Diane hell from day one, trashed her trailer, totaled her car twice, broke her nose twice, and—pretty much her rock bottom—accidentally killed her dog. Her teenage years were tough.
Libby drifted through life on the money raised in her name after the murders. She sleeps with the lights on, too afraid to go into Darkplace—her name for the memories of the night of the murders—if she’s left alone with her thoughts. She drinks too much and eats too little. She’s a kleptomaniac. She has a cat named Buck who barely tolerates her, and fantasizes about killing herself in her spare time. 24 years of waiting to die, and instead, after finally meeting Ben for the first time since that night, she’s starting to realize she was wrong about so much.
Ben was innocent, at least as innocent as anyone could be in that situation. He allowed himself to be accused, half to protect someone he loved, and half because he didn’t understand the rest. Someday they’ll untangle the full story, but hopefully they’ll be able to do it together when Ben is out of prison.
