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.

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.
ABOUT THE BOOK
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.
