This book is timely and relevant because one of every
twenty-five Americans is a psychopath who wreaks havoc on
innocent victims. But what happens to victims after an
encounter? How does she or he cope and move beyond the
pain. A DANCE WITH THE DEVIL answers these questions in
a chatty and personal style. In addition, it and this web page
offer websites for personal understanding and growth.
THE ADMIRAL'S WIFE was the
working title of my manuscript. I
love visualization so I designed this
graphic. The admiral's bar is John's ,
the necklace is one he bought and it
stands for the Inaugural Ball
diamond necklace that John insisted
I have. The flag represents John
being born on the Fourth of July and
his ties to the military through his
father, Admiral Perry who started the
Seabee's in World War II. All are
encased in a heart to symbolize the
love I once had for this man.

A DANCE WITH THE DEVIL is a page-turning exposé of an
intelligent woman's descent into the crazy-making world of
psychopaths. The author, Barbara Bentley, bares her soul as
a victim and survivor in a must-read written to help men and
women recognize a psychopath's deviate behavior before it's
too late for them.
As a victim, she is enchanted by an impostor retired rear
admiral, who is the son of Admiral Perry of World War II
Seabees fame. Her admiral drains her financially and
emotionally, and then attempts to kill her. Afterwards,
Bentley is victimized by the no-fault divorce law of California.
As a survivor, she discovers personal growth, which frees her
from the psychopath and propels her to change the absurd
sacrosanct law.
