She asks Leo to take her home, but he refuses and forces her to participate in an orgy. When she arrives home in the morning, she discovers BOB in her room. She tries to convince herself that BOB only exists in her head, but he only mocks and verbally abuses her and threatens to return soon. Later, she starts working two jobs for local hotelier Benjamin Horne - babysitting his mentally handicapped son Johnnie and apprenticing in Horne's boutique. In her spare time, she volunteers for Meals on Wheels. She soon falls back into her drug and sex addictions, however, and starts working as a prostitute at One-Eyed Jacks. While at Horne's mansion, she meets therapist Dr. Lawrence Jacoby, who agrees to take her on as a patient. Eventually, they become lovers. Her slow realisation of BOB's identity is described, although pages are 'missing' from the end of the diary (i.e. the text is lacunose), which ends with an undated entry in late 1989, leaving the reader unable to reach a firm conclusion. Lynch said that "the careful reader will know the clues and who the killer is." Commercial success and editions The book reached number four on The New York Times paperback fiction best seller list in October 1990, though some US book stores refused to stock it due to the graphic content. It was published in the UK by Penguin Books in November 1990. Entertainment Weekly called it "gratifyingly faithful to the spirit of Peaks." On June 10, 2011, Twin Peaks co-creator Mark Frost announced that a new edition of the diary would be published in the fall of 2011, featuring a new foreword by himself and David Lynch. An audiobook was released in May 2017. It is narrated by Sheryl Lee, who played Laura in the TV series.
