About this product

Product Information

Her marriage to retired Navy admiral John Perry seemed almost too good to be true. Because it was? At the start of her relationship with the intelligent and worldly John Perry, Barbara Bentley couldn't believe her luck'so when things didn't add up, she struggled to ignore her doubts. She kept trying to put the pieces together'unaware that some of them were simply missing. Even as he drained her credit, dodged her questions, manipulated her and misled her, she stayed with him, suppressing her growing suspicions. Ultimately he would try to kill her, proving himself not a protector and provider, but a predator. This is Barbara's courageous, compelling story, in her own words'of the slow, choking darkness that fell after the honeymoon was over, what it took to finally drive her to escape and start her life anew, and her tireless efforts to protect other women and help them learn from her example.

A compelling story
I saw Barbara Bentley on TV and was intrigued with her story, mainly because of the trauma our family endured after a family member had been married to a man who bore a striking personality resemblance to John Perry. I wanted to shake Barbara and make her see what was happening, and was cheering her on when she finally realized action must be taken. She spent far too much energy detailing the process of getting the law changed..I was so happy to see her spunk and courage, but what I really wanted to know was more details about this scoundrel....and how she was able to sort out the lies and deciet. While I know life is precious, a few lives deserve to be snuffed out, and I breathed a sigh of relief when John was no longer Barbara's advasery. Barbara's couragous actions show that lemons handed to you in life can indeed be made into lemonade. This type personality not only is a disaster to those who fall for their charms, but they affect the whole family in ways that never heal.Read full review

Life with a psychopath
Author doesnt spare any details as she describes what being married to con man/psychopath. A sometimes grievous storyline of having hopes and dreams and in the end walking away with nothing.
