"When goodness collides with a conscience-less sociopath, the results can be devastating for the innocent."
excerpt from Crush --
It is estimated that one out of every 25 people in our society is a sociopath--a person who functions without a conscience. My name is Carole Barker and I wrote the book Crush. Crush is the true story of the Barker family and their dealings with one of the most accomplished sociopaths of our time. I invite you to read Crush. I guarantee you won't be bored, and the lessons learned from within these writings may prevent you from becoming entangled with just such a person.
Praise for Crush:
"I just finished reading CRUSH and have rarely been so enthusiastic about a book. It is extremely powerful and well-written, and does a better job than most textbooks in depicting the realities of Munchausen by proxy abuse and antisocial personality disorder (sociopathy). I have already recommended it in response to a couple of inquiries about MBP and find it more powerful even than Julie Gregory's best-selling memoir, Sickened. It took me a while to read because I had to interrupt the reading when I found myself too filled with rage or sadness at the lies and abuse perpetrated by "Patty." I can only hope that "Keith" continues to prevail in court.
Over the years, quite a few people have told me that they intended to write books about their disturbing and life-altering experiences with MBP, but few really do, perhaps because the memories are too painful. It is clear in your case that writing is a therapeutic tool and your readers will be the beneficiaries."
