Member of the Family: My Story of Charles Manson,… av Dianne Lake
Solid 3.5, based primarily on writing style.
SPOILER ALERT:
If you're interested in the story of the Manson girls, this is a good one to read. You get a better feel for the locations of the Manson family than from Helter-Skelter.
Dianne had such a rough start in life, but she overcame it all.

I honestly really loved this book, completely grabs your attention right from the beginning. Only thing I was disappointed about was I had hoped for more details about the trial. The book mostly focused on prior to his arrest. Still would definitely recommend!
"My parents were leading different lives now, and I was too. I could no longer rely on them to take care of me, even at a distance; they were too immersed in themselves."
The sad truth about Dianne's life was that ideals about an alternative lifestyle lead her misguided parents to essentially "throw her to the wolves".
Her parents felt that "turning on, tuning in, and dropping out" could help them make a positive difference in the world. Instead, it destroyed the family unit and almost destroyed Dianne's life.
At the age of 13, her father gave her LSD for the first time. A middle- aged artist unhappy with the constraints of materialism (mortgage, job) and the responsibilities of the establishment (paying bills, providing for his children) he convinced his wife to trade in their lifestyle to live out of a traveling bread truck.
What ensued for Dianne is both chilling and heartbreaking. A teenager left on her own she fell victim to the manipulation and abuse of Charles Manson.
"He could hone in on one’s deepest fears and emphasize that he offered the only true solution."
In this book the reader gets a first hand look at how he was able to control people to the point of committing murder for him. Thankfully, Dianne was not a part of that awful weekend in August 1969.
"Charlie’s uncanny ability to access a person’s needs now has many labels such as a type of cognitive empathy, this ability to read others and know them better than they know themselves without the emotional empathy to go along with it. Charlie provided scientists with a prime example of this type of pathology."
Her story of survival and regeneration is nothing short of amazing.
"The only constant through it all had been me. This was the only person I belonged to, the only person I was truly responsible for. It was time for me to put away rescuing me and to realize that I would have to be there for myself."… (mer)
