Words and tears flow out of Glenwood Burley as he describes his upbringing in rural Amherst County and confronting demons from his past.
The 78-year-old Richmond resident penned his thoughts on his life and journey to healing in his recently released autobiography, âDeath by Silence.â Born and raised in the Burley Hollow area west of the town of Amherst, he chronicles his journey from zigzagging the mountainous farmland as a child helping his family tend to the livestock and orchards to adulthood and inner struggles.
He writes candidly about his bouts with depression and plans to commit suicide intercepted by immediate psychiatric hospitalization.
