June
Дженет Фрейм растёт в многодетной (четыре дочери и сын) семье в Новой Зеландии. Она выделяется пышными огненно-рыжими волосами, повышенной чувствительностью и застенчивым, даже робким характером — как следствие её непривлекательной внешности. А еще у Дженет есть талант — она пишет стихи. Её способность к стихосложению проявляется ещё в школе, а в колледже она начинает даже публиковать свои стихи и рассказы. Но депрессия и нервные срывы приводит её в психиатрическую больницу. Врачи ставят Дженет ошибочный диагноз — шизофрения, и её помещают в стационар и 8 лет лечат, в том числе электрошоком.
