Psychopath -- the word evokes fear and reminds us that serial killers stalk our society.  Alarmingly, most
psychopaths are not  killers like Ted Bundy or John Wayne Gacy, or even killers.  Recent studies reveal
psychopaths (a.k.a. sociopaths) permeate our everyday lives as ordinary people who move through life wreaking
havoc on unsuspecting victims.

As frightening as this revelation is, it is Barbara Bentley's hope that her compelling story  will help others
recognize the psychopath’s deviant behavior before it’s too late for them.  

Lessons learned are lessons to be shared.  Through personal experience, Bentley shows in her book that
inspiration is culled from mayhem, hope shines light through darkness, and strength emerges with belief in
one’s journey.
