Memoir--True Crime--Inspirational--CA Law Published by BERKLEY BOOKS, an imprint of Penguin USA "This book is truly a page turner.... a shocking account of deception and betrayal." |
| In her page-turning memoir A DANCE WITH THE DEVIL: A TRUE STORY OF MARRIAGE TO A PSYCHOPATH, Barbara Bentley weaves a story of how fairy tale dreams, trust and hope collide with the crazy-making world of psychopaths and domestic violence. 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. |

| Welcome to my web page where my goal is to educate the public about psychopaths (sociopaths), and to provide links to agencies and websites that can help a victim after an encounter with one. Psychopaths look for their victims at work, at church, at organizations, and in romantic relationships. The best defense against them is knowing how they operate. I also share my writing journey for my book A DANCE WITH THE DEVIL as it shows how passion, planning, patience, and persistence can lead one to success. Thanks for visiting and I hope you find the pages informative. |
